Anonymizing qual interview data?
by Cory Robinson 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

HI all, Two Master’s students I recently met are conducting recorded interviews resulting in texts they will code and quote within their theses. I have given input about how to protect the recorded interviews (encrypted, password protected, not stored in the cloud). I do not work with qual data, so I need help recommending methodology or help for anonymizing quotes in their thesis. (I am inquiring about this for a student, that unfortunately, has not received helpful advice from their supervisor). ☹ The students assumed they would assign each participating an identification number, and then attribute the quote and ID # in their thesis. However, I feel there is surely a better way to ensure anonymity? (Too easy to reidentify if research data was obtained). What methods do you utilize for anonymizing individual interview data? Or manuscripts/books helpful for this? Sadly, the students are nearing the end of the study, but late is better than never. (It’s indeed a failure of universities, as well as unequipped supervisors!)

Re: [Air-L] Air-L Digest, Vol 201, Issue 4 References for AI Literature
by Andrea Guzman 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Hi all, Regarding the request for AI literature: Emerging literature in Human-Machine Communication also would be relevant here, including work by Kate Crawford, the AI Now Institute, Gina Neff and Peter Nagy, Meredith Broussard, Kate Mays and James Katz, Patric Spence, and myself, to name a few. Relevant journals include the Human-Machine Communication journal, https://stars.library.ucf.edu/hmc/, Computers in Human Behavior, particularly the special issue (vol 90) https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/computers-in-human-behavior/vol/90/su…, and Communication Studies, Special Issue on AI https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10510974.2020.1788909. It is also worth noting that people often conflate AI and robotics, so some of the literature regarding people’s conceptions of robots also may be relevant. Good luck! _____ Andrea L. Guzman, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Dept. of Communication Northern Illinois University she/her/hers alguzman(a)niu.edu https://andrealguzman.net<https://andrealguzman.net/> ICA Human-Machine Comm.
