Obtain ethnographic informed consent
Practice the sequence you already learned for “Obtain ethnographic informed consent” until the order feels automatic. Drill AAA / IRB ethnography order from anthropology training. Recording and named quotation are not started until consent, community permissions, and the withdrawal terms are clear.
- Explain purpose, risks, and how recordings will be stored.
- Obtain community or gatekeeper permission when required.
- Obtain the participant’s informed consent.
- Confirm whether they agree to be named.
- Confirm whether they agree to be recorded.
- Start the interview only after those choices are logged.
- Honor a later withdrawal. Do not keep using a quote they retracted.
