About the interviews
We recorded 12 face-to-face interviews with members of staff representing a wide range of occupations at Techniquest. The intent of the interviews was to elicit their insights about the production of their area of expertise.
Each interview lasted just over 1 hour. The interviews were guided by an aide-memoire but the subjects were free to discuss their own interests. We chose to audio-record rather than video-record the interviews partly for pragmatic reasons to cut down on the complexity and intrusion but also because we felt that a more 'traditional' form of audio-recording would be more appropriate to a mode of fieldwork that stressed the elicitation of reflections.
