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.

  1. Explain purpose, risks, and how recordings will be stored.
  2. Obtain community or gatekeeper permission when required.
  3. Obtain the participant’s informed consent.
  4. Confirm whether they agree to be named.
  5. Confirm whether they agree to be recorded.
  6. Start the interview only after those choices are logged.
  7. Honor a later withdrawal. Do not keep using a quote they retracted.
