The Interview Put very simply, it is the anthropologist’s job to study the lives and behaviors of a cultural group, to interpret these tell-tales, and then to translate these observations into an accurate and honest portrayal of a people. In addition to this task, the anthropologist must retain an awareness of her own perceptual experience as being informed by a professional and cultural role with its own assumptions and interpretive frames; must remain conscious of the professional filter through which all interview and observational data flow; and must contain, to a reasonable degree, the distortions that such a filter might produce. Few individuals have the opportunity to examine the filter from both ends, but I recently had the chance to see my own reflection in the interpretive pool of another when I met with Southwest Journal reporter Michael Metzger to discuss an upcoming class that I’m teaching in intergenerational writing. interviewing techniques • anthropological methods • interviewing • research • journalism methods
