Have now interviewed Prof Assaad Masri (Eng). Am interviewing Cynthia Nelson from the ITL on Monday. I now have the classic ethnographer's dilemma: Have I interviewed enough people? What if I've missed someone who will give me something new and different?
I think I've got enough, and they are to some extent repeating what others have said, which is A Sign. I have talked to someone who is a position to have an overview from Science (Agriculture), Arts/Humanities (History), Fine Arts (Music), Social Science (Education & Social Work), Health Sciences (Medicine), Applied Science (Vets & Enginieering). So there's a mix of theoretical and professional, and breadth across the disciplines taught at the Uni. I did wonder about Architecture (as they have a lot of marginal and cross-disciplinary people, and range from planning to design), Nursing (again for breadth, although that might be difficult as that is where my partner works and is known), Health Sciences (which is really Allied Health and which might be useful for the same reasons as Nursing). Once I've interviewed Cynthia on the plans for supervisor training I might take a break from interviewing for a while and consider what I've learned.
