Bill,
Are you familiar with Carspecken's "Critical Ethnography in Educational
Research"? He uses a Habermasian framework based on validity claims against
the three ontological domains that structure Habermas' theory of
communicative action. Carspecken's work is very specific and almost a
step-by-step how-to guide but it presumes that you accept Habermasian
theory. Another interesting piece, one that draws on dialectical
materialist theory explicitly, including David Harvey and Ilyenkov, is David
Wainwright's "Can Sociological Research be Qualitative, Critical, and
Valid?" which isn't so programmatic but definitely discusses the
relationship between interview data and theory.

> Sharan Merriam's book "Case Study Research in Education" describes 3 forms
of interview; a) survey, b) semistructured, c) unstructured. All of these
types ignore theory as a means to guide questions. So apparently there is
also at least a "d) theoretically coordinated interview". Have any of you
a reference for this type of thing?
