In fact, several ethnographies have been conducted over the telephone (Dinham, 1994; I. W. Gibson, 1994; Taylor, 2002). Two such studies concerned educators in Australia. Gibson (1994) interviewed education department administrators and Dinham (1994) used telephone interviews to conduct life histories of teachers. While these studies exist in the education domain, they act as evidence that telephone interviewing is gaining acceptance outside polling and market research. As researchers continue to use this medium more broadly, this paper should help to make them aware of the medium’s potential impact.
