Workshop sharing fieldwork notes
Fieldwork notes constitute the 'raw data' and/or essential context for various forms of qualitative research. Yet they are rarely shared for various reasons. In this workshop, we will explore these reasons, name the pros and cons of sharing fieldwork data and how to do so responsibly.
- Leiden University
Based on practical examples from different disciplines within the social sciences and humanities and input from both trainers and participants, we will work towards best practices. We will cover the following topics: why or why not to share fieldwork notes, which notes can be shared (and which cannot), how to share them (e.g. in which format and on which platform), and which metadata are needed to make them understandable and usable.
Workshop series
This workshop is the second in a series of two workshops on responsible sharing of hard-to-share data in the social sciences and humanities. You can register for both workshops, or you can choose to register for just one.
- Workshop 1: The first workshop, on 8 May, focuses on 'The ethical considerations in sharing fieldwork data and the CARE principles'. During the workshop, you will visit Erasmus University's International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague and learn about the CARE principles. You can also contribute ideas on ways to implement these principles within the ethical review processes of Dutch universities.
