Consider the following excerpt from the description of methods in:

Townsley, N.C. & Geist, P. (2000). The discursive enactment of hegemony: Sexual harassment and academic organizing. Western Journal of Communication, 64(2), 190-217. “We attempted to “give voice” to the victims’ stories otherwise not heard or validated organizationally (Perry & Geist, 1997: Petronio, Flores, & Hecht, 1997) by conducting the interviews in a non-directional manner. Rather than having a strict interview schedule, we asked victims of harassment to “describe their experience of unwanted sexual attention. . . We were rather cognizant of the obvious power differential between researchers and the research “subjects” and the benefits that we gain from informant stories. To reconcile the discord at least minimally, we utilized feminist based, conversational interviewing techniques and discussed our vulnerabilities as researchers with each other and with our participants (Oakley, 1981)” (pp. 198-199). Which type of qualitative interview did Townsley and Geist conduct? a. ethnographic conversations b. depth interviews c. focus interviews d. postmodern interviews
