I've been offline for 24 hours and look at this
Actually, the thread is pretty realistic when it come to real life prepping and real life UK preppers
Accepting that it *does* actually need to be dragged slightly back on-topic (I'm rubbish at the humour, I'm the one that sits back and applauds) then my questions are addressed to Gary, the OP/GPS:
- is any of your other work online? Can you post a link if so?
- what's the provisional title of your research?
- who does your ethical reviews? Is that from part of the university, or the academic journal where you want it to be published?
- do you have a draft of a questionnaire that you're going to send out, or will your interviews be more ad hoc?
- when you say in your first post that you'd be interested in people's experiences, do you mean the experiences that got people into prepping, or experiences of using preps, or both?
- if a participant decides to withhold permission for their material to be used, how do you deal with that (again, I'm reading from your first post)?
The one thing I'd like to say here, is please don't underestimate us. It happens a lot, and it's another reason for distrust towards both journalists and academics.
