Interviews

 

In order to investigate attitudes and experiences towards technology and also personal stories of  women working in STEM, I held informal interviews with a number of different people, mainly women, who had successful careers in Academia and/or science based industry.

​

The sample group for these interviews was small and therefore represents only very specific experiences and attitudes experienced (both historically and geographically also). In order to create specific data sets a more generalised approach with a wider sample set of people and identical questions would need to be asked. 

​

However I was looking for interesting personal stories that might form a common thread to explore in the creative practise, as well as general observations and experiences which could potentially be investigated further at a later date. The insights and observations gave me different viewpoints to my own which was also interesting in the context of developing specific personality and experience driven creative A.I.

​

Interviews were held via skype or in person with any data stored anonymised - although all participants expressed their happiness to be quoted. A very informal discussion was had with each participant, covering their early interests, school achievements and subsequent career.
