Abstract
This manual has been developed to guide researchers through the process of using the life history approach to conduct interviews. The main body of the guide is split into three sections: 1) Before: how to prepare for your fieldwork; 2) During: how to conduct life history interviews; 3) After: what to do with your data once leaving the field. Life histories are often used to study temporality, and conducted over multiple interviews during which there is constant reference to instances of change. The researcher and the respondent are able to explore how events and behaviours shape individual choices and actions.
