Abstract
This chapter draws upon an action-research project in which the ethnographer became a participant and facilitator of a collective effort that led to the unionisation of sex workers in the UK. It is within this context that I will explore the way in which the interview in action- research settings can be used as a tool for action planning and action generation, as well as ‘authentic’ data generation. As I turned from ethnographer to action researcher, I became a co-producer or co- generator of knowledge that is relevant for action. I ask, in this chapter, to what extent can the agenda of the interview be appropriated by those being interviewed, as a tool to critically understand structures of power and seek social change?
