More than just a cup of tea: everyday cultural practices and interactions in research
- Author:
- ASHWORTH Rosalie
- Journal article citation:
- Generations Review, 24(3), 2014, pp.4-10.
- Publisher:
- British Society of Gerontology
In the capacity of her work as a researcher the author visited many people with dementia and their families in their own homes to interview them and discuss their experience of living with dementia. In this reflective account the author discuses the everyday experience of sharing a cup of tea. This practice experience is integrated with literature about cultural practices around tea-drinking. The author argues that incorporating everyday practices such as tea-drinking should become a feature of interactions with research participants, particularly where building relationships is essential in gathering information, such as when interviewing people.
