| Summary: | This case study investigates the practical and methodological challenges associated with conducting interviews with high-ranking public figures ("elites") in politically fragile environments, with a particular focus on education and gender issues in Turkey. The original research utilised a qualitative methodology, emphasising an immersive, in-depth interview process. The study presents insights into accessing elite participants, understanding unique cultural nuances in securing informed consent, and reflecting on the methodological implications of context-specific interview protocols. Furthermore, it draws attention to the ethical concerns linked with conducting research in politically sensitive contexts. By engaging with this case study, readers will gain nuanced knowledge of qualitative research techniques in similar challenging settings. They will further learn how to adapt and apply these insights to their research, enhancing their capacity to negotiate ethical, practical, and methodological complexities when interacting with elites in volatile socio-political climates. |
