Abstract

This paper describes a summer Research Assistantship Scheme undertaken by three undergraduate students in the School of Psychology at Keele University. The research used a conversation analytic approach to explore interactions during emergency and non-emergency phone calls to a regional police force in the UK. We will briefly introduce the research undertaken and summarise some of the preliminary patterns of results emerging from the analysis. Here we will be reflecting on the experience of involving undergraduate students in research from both the students’ and researcher’s perspective. We conclude that summer Research Assistantship Schemes might represent a valuable and often overlooked option for resourcing qualitative research projects whilst also enhancing the provision of qualitative teaching for interested students at undergraduate level.
