Leave names in for now
If we take it out of the ecosystem, we will use anon keys

Using automation, AI. Not host nor use. Automated transcription.
Avoiding cloud-based stuff to prevent extraction
Getting clarification on what it means to email about the project.
Using AI means paying for it. 

What A Form Can Do
2 different consentforms but we ask people to sign the plymouth one.

- Paying participants
Westminster: still not clear
Plymouth: OK!

- Listening session

- different themes from the interviews... how these things can happen and what would need to be in place. The value in participating in policy work, allegory of denaturing, trying to structure your idea to be acceptable to policy makers, means changing it and part of the opressive structure. 
Denatruing from biomedical science, as poeple make comments and as they arise. 

Commoning - concerns, vulunerabilities that come up 
Speculation - chamber, as people start to rif and imagining possibilities, to map out the positive and negative 
Acvitivsms thought processes - pushing through the path in intervention/hopefully maybe 
Thinking about policy craft because you need to structure your idea to make it sound worth, it diminishes and discriminates sources of knowledge and try to give space for forms and sources of knowlegde from institutions, how they can be given space in this... working with... infrastructures rather than dismantling infrastructures.. 

Work at UAL, --- other works entanglement of government and tech and how its futile to try, government works in the interest of gov and tech and talk about IBM as a case study, and how our currrent government operate . various enquiries and public pressure. argue for rejecting these kinds of power structures. focusing limited time and energy of making groups. 

- in relation to the inteviews.. how the prospective, how it comes out in there, 
- contribution to workbook, this type of analysis done in the interviews.
- not so focused on policy and how to intervene, where are point of intervention, which can be policy and can be not neccesarily.. framework would loose its dimensionality.. 
- for the listening session, analaysis through the materials, 
- contribution to the workbook. 

Continuation practice. Each interview had pre-conversations. The workshop is not a culmination, it is a continuation.
There is a structure (Miryiam), sometimes used?
collective organising, care, solidarity ...

joni + cass: asking about what they want to talk about beforehand

peripheral politics, simone -- arhus talk. Not directing to a center. Energies on that. Also as a move to go against solutionism.

"where is my centre". Address ...

analyzing together
bringing questions
instrumentality is good!




Structure 

Not a sample in anyway, some people are already related to the institute
There is an intentionality and talking -- 
so in the way the workshop, is the second "talking"
we will listen together to each other interviews... we don't know if anything will happen, 
not a culmination, 

SMALL FOCUS GROUP METHODLOGY APPROACH FOR OUR ETHNOGRAPHIC MEETINGS 
1 Opening 
a. Allow everyone to introduce themselves. 
 
We include ourselves in the intro,should situate ourselves, we are not erasing ourselves, not neutralised
 
b. Establish some ground rules: 
- Small focus group/semi-structured interview,
- Time/duration 60-90min max, decide if this is in ONE meeting or do we break it up in 2 different times, 
- Taking minutes/recording, 
- asking if pads are ok, if others can see them
- can transcripts be shared?
- consent form - and reminder that you can withdraw from the research at any point
 
c. Explain the topic:
TITIPI/we are trying to …. is ……. stay close to our application and/or website, say we want to bring our respective networks together, we will share general observations between groups and at later point workshop or book.
 
 
2 Going in detail/in-depth
Ask open-ended questions to begin/break ice, not more than 2 of these examples:
PLACE OF INTERVENTION, WHERE WOULD THEY THINK TO INTERVENE? LIVED EXPERIENCE/THEORETICAL WORK
NEW FORMS OF SOCIAL ORGANISING IN LAST FEW MONTHS....
 
 
- Resistance… [this is very important in operationalising it according to/from the view of the interlocutors sites of resistances eg home, street, workspace, community centre…/is level collective, individual, medium, ngo…] 
 
- Radical Care … [operationalise as issues related to lockdown/curfew...why so difficult to reimagine, to have the agency/or vice versa, the dependencies it creates]
 
Follow up questions: much of social relations/realities are shaped by contradictions what is the other side/down side...SO:
 
- Exploitation … [operationalise as issues to do with key workers/home schooling…]
 
- Extraction …  [operationalise as issues to do with climate change, consumer platform/technology dependencies, dilemmas about what we have to drop/sacrifice, contradictions to do with different prioritise [public vs personal] removal of resources and depletion without return locally]
- Racism… [idem….
 
3 Facilitate an Open Conversation
 
- A what do you think of what B says….
- Push towards new ideas if derailing/when necessary.... drop things like extraction/racial capitalism. 
- Ask the participants follow-up questions harking back to open-end questions.
 
4 Wrap up the discussion 
- With highlights/to confirm their contributions,
- Encourage everyone to continue the conversation,
- What else may we not have touched.
