Abstract

The feedback interview has proven to be an evolving research technique. A rich array of data has emerged in a variety of settings, interpreted by scholars from a range of disciplines. The present authors explore the multidisciplinary capacity of this technique, focusing on their own work employing video recording in East Africa, where Angela Stone-MacDonald works in special education in Tanzania, and West Africa, where Ruth Stone conducts research in ethnomusicology in Liberia. The authors describe some of the changes in using video and technology in ethnographic research to elicit rich, multivocal responses from participants that have occurred over the past thirty years.
