Tuesday's Skype Session

A few topics arose in Tuesday's Skype Session and were very helpful towards my inquiry.

Firstly we discussed our topics and where we are at with our inquiry. I have decided to look into female and male roles in dance and a lot of interesting sources for research came up which I am excited to explore.

We discussed ways to interview and different techniques. Something may not seem relevant to your inquiry in the interview process but when looking back, it could be a lot more important than you first anticipated so may be good to arrange second interviews. We discussed how interviewee's my not openly talk but may give clues or hints of what they want to talk about and how we need to be careful of our own assumptions and be open to idea's.

We also talked about Identity Politics as this covered both our inquiries. As I am looking into female and male roles in dance, I will be looking to see if groups have moved away from the traditional broad-based politics in these roles and starting to form their own political alliance.
