Cartoon Elicitation: Can Drawings Facilitate Interviews on Sensitive Topics? KU Leuven
Researching sensitive topics poses multiple methodological and ethical challenges. To overcome these, this contribution proposes the method of cartoon elicitation, inspired by photo-elicitation and based on framing theory. The impersonality and satire of cartoons and the distance made between a sensitive topic and real life events can diminish potential feelings of threat among respondents. The cartoons offered opportunities to (a) discuss ...

The linguistic diversity often results in language barriers in the communication between the immigrant and host population. One of the public sectors in which language barriers occur and have an impact upon is the ...
