The Routledge International Handbook on The Listening Guide Method: A Feminist Relational Approach

The Routledge International Handbook on The Listening Guide Method is about a qualitative, feminist, and voice-centred method for analyzing interview narratives and other forms of data through attentive listening to multiple voices and stories. This handbook is the first to bring together a comprehensive collection of chapters dedicated entirely to the Listening Guide, mapping its origins, showcasing its many adaptations, and highlighting insights from long-time practitioners. It offers readers both a deeper understanding of the method and practical insights for using it in their own research. The first part of the handbook, Histories, charts the early development of the method by bringing together foundational texts. The second part, Innovations and Adaptations, features recent advances introduced by a new generation of international, interdisciplinary scholars who, drawing on diverse national and disciplinary backgrounds, engage varied populations across multiple geographic contexts and work with diverse forms of data. The third part, Methodological Journeys, offers reflections from scholars who have used, adapted, and taught the method for more than three decades, illuminating its key contributions and ongoing potential as a relational, feminist, and voice-centred approach. The book is intended for scholars and researchers within social science and humanities disciplines, including qualitative, narrative and feminist researchers; for students at all levels of study (undergraduate, master's, postgraduate); and for more established scholars in academia and other sectors.
