How to Solve the Rashomon Effect | Radical Subjectivity in Qualitative Research
What do social scientists do when their informants lie or give them contradictory information? In this episode of Off the Shelf we answer that question and explain how you can constructively incorporate conflicting interviews (and even outright lies) into your qualitative research. And to do that we're going to discuss one of our favorite films of all time, Akira Kurosawa's 1950 masterpiece, Rashomon.

[1] The term Rashomon Effect is most often used in a general sense to refer to the co-existence of contradictory point of view testimonies that describe the same event from multiple perspectives; however, for the purposes-of-this video, I'm working off of Davis, Anderson, and Walls's excellent book "Rashomon Effects: Kurosawa, Rashomon, and their Legacies", which extends the concept to a more methodologically grounded social scientific context that includes the ways in which The Rashomon Effect influences scientific observers and potentially corrupts their data.
