Consent Form
There were a couple of versions of this, mainly the title changed a few times, and in the later version, I gave the option for students who were interested in being interviewed to give further feedback to contact me.
Interviews were not in my original action plan. But having listened to pod casts by Social researcher Rick Harris, who dares to challenge the status of the interview transcript as the ‘gold-standard’ of qualitative research, in the ‘Tyranny of the Transcript’
and video by Dr Ivy Taslima and Dr Fungisai Muchenje reflect on their experience of using participatory research methods in their PhD research, See link below:
I decided that more discussion either in the form of a post event focus group or interviews would be a great way to develop the data, and get more student participation. Unfortunately, despite my contacting the tutor and emailing students directly, none were willing or able to participate in Interviews or Focus group.
