She just called me to confirm, which is fine, but also to tell me she invited some law professor to join us and that I should be honored that he might take the time to come by.
These statements in and of themselves seem innocuous, but it is the way that she speaks that rubs me the wrong way. Loudly. Without listening. Talking over me after she asks me a question.
Had she asked, no I do not like group interviews much, and prefer to have them one-on-one... This not only helps for the transcription, but protecting the confidentiality of identity and whatever is said. Also, the power dyanmic between the two people can alter potentional responses and stifle ideas. On the other hand, it can spark more animated discussions and trigger memories so we will see how it goes. I am hoping this goes well. I do want to meet him and think he woudl be a great interview. I just do not want to interview them together.
All part of the experience, right?
