On Doing Go-Along Interviews: Toward Sensuous Analyses of Everyday Experiences

Abstract

This article offers emergent methodological frameworks toward sensuously analyzing go-along interviews. Recently, scholars have called for analyses of go-alongs that include affective moments and experiences of the go-alongs to offer insight into everyday experiences beyond the words spoken during the interview. This article offers analytical narratives of a study with trans, queer, and non-binary youth that focus on such moments during go-alongs when the act of doing research brought conversations to a halt. Such attention allows for deeper understanding of how senses experienced during interviews impact that which was produced, and not just what was said, during go-alongs.
