First, an overview of the participants and universities is provided. Second, the life story approach taken to the research is discussed. Third, the semi-structured interview process is explained. Fourth, feminist interviewing principles and rapport are explored. Fifth, ethical issues are identified and addressed. Finally, the thematic data analysis (Braun & Clarke, Using thematic analysis in psychology. Qualitative Research in Psychology, 3(2), 77–101, 2006), and the use of Archer’s (Structure, agency and internal conversation. Cambridge University Press, 2003) inner emotional dialogue to support this theorisation is summarised.
