Engaging in human occupation is complex, often involving commonplace practices that cannot be readily articulated. Accordingly, a growing number of occupational science and occupational therapy scholars have called for expanded qualitative methodologies and methods to support enhanced understandings of occupation in context. In this paper we respond to these calls by discussing how the go-along method—a hybrid of participant observation and interviewing—can be layered with an occupational lens to enhance the in-depth study of occupation. We provide an overview of the use of interview and observational methods in occupational science and occupational therapy research, as well as an introduction to the go-along method. Next we draw upon two go-along interviews from a larger ethnographic study to illustrate the method’s contributions to the study of occupation and describe considerations when using this method. Ultimately, we assert that the go-along method is a useful tool for exploring the complex, situated, and experiential nature of occupation.
