Ethnographic study: during the workshops I will be conducting ethnographic observations, which will include field notes, sketches, and photography of your creative outputs. Workshops will not be audio-recorded, and will follow Chatham House Rule, which means that any quotes and direct observations will not be attributable to you. For further information, see: https://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/chatham-house-rule.
Recorded interviews: following Phase One, you may be invited to participate in a one-to-one semi-structured interview with me. This will take place in-person, or (if preferred) via MS Teams. The purpose of the interview is to explore your experiences of the Creative Club and how it has shaped your practices and perspectives, since. The interview will be audio-recorded and transcribed, and you will be able to receive a copy of the transcription prior to processing and analysis.
Identifiability
It is up to you how identifiable you wish your interview data to be. Options include:
Any personally identifying details from the interview will only be accessible to the researcher (myself) and my supervisory team, and will be removed from transcripts where pseudonymity is requested. All reasonable steps will be taken to ensure confidentiality. However, please be aware that the University of Exeter will be named in the research. Given the collaborative and creative nature of the project within the University of Exeter community, complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed.
