“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).
