He is also an expert in policy modeling on infectious disease and substance use, as well as the intersection of public policy and health equity.  In the past he worked in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for 25+ years, in HIV/AIDS, global health and human rights, in the US and Southern Africa.  He started a grassroots coalition - Defending Public Health - on LinkedIn in November 2024 in response to the nomination of RFK Jr. to lead HHS.We discuss the tragic battle of the billionaires, the strength of people power, what we can learn from the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, the way doctors and scientists can reach the communities they care for and translate our work in ways that communities can digest, and advocate for policy changes that can strengthen the health of the public in the current political climate and beyond.  The persistence of a few people is enough!!The article he mentioned below:How Public Health Took Part of its Own Downfall.  Ed Yonghttps://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2021/10/how-public-health-took-part-its-own-downfall/620457/Dr. Aimee's favorite podcast besides ours LOL:Unbiased ScienceAnd learn more about the movement to defend public health by reaching out to the below!EMAIL: defendingpublichealth@gmail.comWEBSITE: coming soon!GOOGLE GROUP: need to 'ask to join' - go to Google Groups, search for defendpublichealth (lowercase, no spaces) and request to joinThanks as always to Jeff Jeudy for providing our music!  And don't forget to check out our youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY4BNZEI5dk.Send us your questions and comments to drtonianddraimee@gmail.com

✏️ Suscribirse https://youtu.be/F1he8naPJSQ Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de "Negocios y WordPress", el podcast donde exploramos el mundo de los negocios digitales con un enfoque especial en WordPress. En este episodio 221, Yannick y Elías nos llevan a un viaje a través de las últimas tendencias en automatización, inteligencia artificial, diseño web y mucho más. Si estás buscando optimizar tu negocio digital, este es el lugar perfecto para ti. Google Groups: Una Herramienta Clásica para la Comunicación en Equipo En este episodio, hemos hablado sobre Google Groups, una herramienta que, aunque lleva muchos años en el mercado (desde 2001), sigue siendo útil para ciertos contextos de trabajo. Google Groups permite crear listas de correo y foros de discusión, lo que facilita la comunicación en equipo, especialmente cuando se trata de coordinar a varias personas a través del correo electrónico. ¿Qué es Google Groups? Google Groups es un servicio de Google que permite crear y participar en foros de discusión y listas de correo electrónico. Es una herramienta versátil que puede ser utilizada tanto para discusiones públicas como privadas, y es especialmente útil para equipos que necesitan coordinarse y compartir información de manera eficiente. ¿Cómo Funciona? Creación de Grupos: Puedes crear un grupo en Google Groups y añadir a los miembros del equipo. Cada grupo tiene su propia dirección de correo electrónico, lo que facilita el envío de mensajes a todos los miembros del grupo con un solo correo. Foros de Discusión: Los grupos pueden funcionar como foros de discusión donde los miembros pueden iniciar nuevos temas o responder a temas existentes. Esto es útil para mantener las conversaciones organizadas y accesibles para todos los miembros. Listas de Correo: Además de los foros, Google Groups también permite crear listas de correo. Esto significa que cualquier correo enviado a la dirección del grupo será reenviado automáticamente a todos los miembros del grupo. Ventajas de Usar Google Groups Centralización de la Comunicación: Al tener un único punto de contacto (la dirección de correo del grupo), se facilita la comunicación y se evita la dispersión de información. Accesibilidad: Los miembros pueden acceder a las discusiones y correos desde cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento, siempre que tengan acceso a Internet. Organización: Las conversaciones se mantienen organizadas en hilos, lo que facilita el seguimiento de temas específicos. Casos de Uso En el episodio, Elías mencionó cómo utilizó Google Groups para coordinarse con varias personas en un proyecto de una carrera en su pueblo. En lugar de gestionar múltiples correos y mensajes de WhatsApp, centralizó toda la comunicación en un grupo de Google, lo que facilitó la coordinación y evitó la pérdida de información. Conclusión Google Groups puede no ser la herramienta más moderna o con la interfaz más atractiva, pero su funcionalidad y simplicidad la hacen una opción viable para equipos que necesitan una solución eficiente para la comunicación y coordinación. Si estás buscando una manera de mantener a tu equipo en la misma página sin complicaciones, Google Groups podría ser la solución que necesitas. Herramientas de Automatización: Make vs. n8n La automatización y la inteligencia artificial (IA) están revolucionando la forma en que gestionamos nuestros negocios digitales. Desde la programación y el diseño hasta el marketing y el branding, estas tecnologías están integrándose cada vez más en nuestras vidas profesionales. En este episodio, Yannick y Elías nos presentan herramientas clave como Make y n8n, y nos muestran cómo pueden transformar la productividad y eficiencia de nuestros proyectos. Make: La Solución Integral para Automatizaciones Make, anteriormente conocido como Integromat, es una herramienta poderosa para conectar aplicaciones y automatizar flujos de trabajo.

Integración con IA: Capacidad para crear agentes de IA y flujos de trabajo avanzados. Copias de Seguridad en WordPress: ¿Qué Opción Elegir? La seguridad de tu sitio web es crucial, y tener copias de seguridad regulares es una parte esencial de cualquier estrategia de mantenimiento. En este episodio, discutimos varias opciones para realizar copias de seguridad en WordPress, desde plugins hasta servicios de mantenimiento. Plugins de Copias de Seguridad UpdraftPlus: Uno de los plugins más populares, permite realizar copias de seguridad automáticas y almacenarlas en servicios en la nube como Dropbox o Google Drive. BackupBuddy: Ofrece una solución completa para copias de seguridad, restauración y migración de sitios web. Servicios de Mantenimiento ManageWP: Un servicio que no solo realiza copias de seguridad, sino que también ofrece actualizaciones automáticas, monitoreo de seguridad y mucho más. ModularDS: Una opción recomendada por Yannick y Elías, que ahora incluye copias de seguridad incrementales, lo que ahorra espacio y mejora la eficiencia. Novedades en Elementor: Hacia un Diseño Más Profesional Elementor sigue evolucionando y en este episodio, Yannick nos presenta algunas de las últimas novedades que están por llegar. Desde la gestión de clases y estilos hasta la integración con herramientas de IA, Elementor está dando pasos significativos hacia un diseño web más profesional y eficiente.

If your organization uses Google Workspace you have access to Google Groups. Kind of like a listserv but so much better.What are Google Groups?If your nonprofit uses Google Workspace, you can use Google Groups to manage tasks via an email group, with granular controls and monitoring if you need it. Google Groups can improve security for email addresses like “donate@mynonprofit” or “info@mynonprofit” if that email directs to a group and is not its own account that's credentials could be hacked. Director of IT Consulting Steve Longenecker explains the ins and outs of using Google Groups and some issues to consider including Google's Fedramp certification if you are trying to use Google Groups with federal workers. Since few MSPs can help nonprofits using Google Workspace, please contact us if you have more questions we can help with. We know that so many nonprofit startups start using Google Workspace because it is easy. Some Key Takeaways:Google Groups works like a listserv, allowing multiple people to view and respond to group emails right from their inbox. No new tools needed like slack or discord. Keeping it simple can help your team or volunteers engage easily.Google Groups allows granular permissions and allows a manager to assign certain email threads to specific team members, so you can make sure all donation inquiries get a quick response, for example. Managers can get valuable insight into email thread status and team members can easily collaborate without checking and back-checking to see who is taking which inquiry.Google Groups can be useful in keeping volunteer groups organized and engaged. You can assign any email to Google Groups, making a partly external volunteer team more functional and making it easier for busy volunteers to participate, right from their inbox.Google Groups has many security features that make it preferable to listservs. And Listerv tools are becoming harder to find and manage. Everyone uses email – if you already use Google Workspace you have a listserv tool already available to you, for free, that has many features and security that listservs just don't have.Google Groups is relatively easy to set up and manage, and Google provides lots of helpful how-to tutorials and advice that are accessible to non-technical managers.If you are trying to use Google Groups with federal employees and encountering resistance, be aware that Google has Fedramp certification. This means your federal friends are allowed to use it from a security perspective.Google Groups is a tool you should consider if you are struggling to manage a team or volunteer group. It is easy to get started and easy to expand as you learn the capabilities. We know that few MSPs serving nonprofits are experts in Google Workspace. Community IT has developed expertise in Google Workspace support since we serve nonprofits exclusively, and so many nonprofits use this platform.  _______________________________Start a conversation :) Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/ email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.com on LinkedIn Thanks for listening.

Tiff Parker is an expert in Google Workspace support, having used Google Workspace herself throughout her career and developing a practice as an in-house expert to our clients who use Google Workspace. Carolyn asked Tiff for her tips on features to use and things to know about Google Workspace at the office.The takeaways: Know the difference between My Drive and Shared Drives, and set up Shared Drives for anything that you will want access to after a staff member leaves your organization. Step by step instructions to set up Shared Drives can be found in the Google knowledge center and can be done by “non technical” staff. Be thoughtful about creating the Shared Drives architecture and assigning access. Train your existing and new staff on your expectation for saving and collaborating on files using Shared Drives. Google uses the acronym “2SV” for second factor verification. Similar to Multi-Factor-Authentication (MFA,) you can use any authenticator (including Google's) or have a text or call sent to your phone. Whatever you use, the important thing is to REQUIRE 2SV for any account that your staff log into.Use Google Groups to save money on licenses and make it easier for teams or committees to collaborate. You can set up Google Groups with a single email address such as “contact@yourdomain” and all the members can see and respond. Groups has a lot of great use cases at nonprofits.Google Calendar has an option for “rooms” that you can use for many resources you may want to be able to reserve, like projectors and other AV equipment if you are still using a physical office. Thank you, Tiff, for these useful tips! If you have more Google Workspace questions, or have a great tip to share, get in touch! Presenter: Tiff Parker joined Community IT Innovators as an IT Business Manager (ITBM) in October 2023. She brings over 17 years of experience working in nonprofit technology.As an ITBM, she guides clients through implementation of effective technology investments and utilizing efficient IT services in direct support of their missions. She also assists clients with long-term planning, budgeting, and strategic goals.The Community IT ITBM service provides an outsourced IT manager to clients at a reduced cost to hiring and having an IT manager on staff. These managers are a resource dedicated to matching technology solutions to clients' business needs. The ITBM makes recommendations on IT investments, training programs, maintenance, and licenses. They help the client be forward-looking, and act as a vendor-agnostic, trusted advisor with deep knowledge of the nonprofit IT software and platforms available. Because Community IT works in partnership with clients to manage long-term IT needs, the ITBM relationship with the client makes them a true asset.Prior to coming to Community IT, Tiff was the IT Director for an environmental nonprofit where she was responsible for the overall vision, planning, implementation, management and support of their various information systems, data, policies, and processes. Tiff graduated from Virginia Tech in 2007.  She holds the Microsoft 365 Fundamentals MS 900 certification. _______________________________Start a conversation :) Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/ email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.com on LinkedIn Thanks for listening.

It feels like only a year ago that Doctor Who underwent a strange and cataclysmic soft reboot, and it looks like it's happening again this week. Or is it? Notes and links Paul Cornell's negative review of Terror of the Autons was originally published in DWB Issue 112, way back in April 1993. Here it is republished in the old Usenet forum rec.arts.drwho (or at least the version of it to be found on Google Groups right now). Jeremy Bentham (yes, a relation) was the co-founder of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society back in the 70s. To us, he was more famous for contributing a section to Peter Haining's 1983 coffee-table book Doctor Who: A Celebration, a section which briefly covered every Doctor Who story up to the final story of Season 20, The King's Demons. We mentioned it last week; it...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing the Animal Advocacy Forum - a space for those involved or interested in Animal Welfare & related topics, published by David van Beveren on February 6, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Farmed Animal Strategic Team (FAST) is thrilled to announce the launch of our Animal Advocacy Forum, a new platform aimed at increasing discussion and enhancing collaboration within the animal advocacy movement. We invite everyone involved or interested in animal welfare, alternative proteins, animal rights, or related topics to participate, share insights about their initiatives, and discover valuable perspectives. Thank you! What is FAST? For more than a decade, FAST has operated as a private Google Group list, connecting over 500+ organizations and 1,400+ individuals dedicated to farmed animal welfare. This network includes professionals from pivotal EA-aligned organizations such as Open Philanthropy, Good Food Institute, The Humane League, Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) - including a wide range of smaller and grassroots-based groups. Why a forum? In response to feedback from our FAST survey, members expressed a strong interest in deeper discussions and improved collaboration. There was also considerable dissatisfaction with the 'reply-all' feature, which led to unintentional spamming of 1,400 members - as a result, FAST decided to broaden its services to include a forum. While the FAST List continues to serve as a private space within the animal advocacy movement, the FAST Forum is open to the public to foster greater engagement, particularly from those involved in the EA and other closely-aligned movements. What should be posted there? Echoing the EA Forum's Animal Welfare topic's role which provides a space for organizations to announce initiatives, discuss promising new ideas, and constructively critique ongoing work - FAST's platform serves as a dedicated hub for in-depth discussions on animal advocacy and related topics. It aims to enable nuanced debates and collaboration on key issues such as alternative proteins, grassroots strategy, corporate campaigns, legal & policy work, among others. What shouldn't be posted there? Discussions related to ongoing investigations or internal strategy, especially regarding campaigns or initiatives not yet public, should not be shared on the forum to safeguard the confidentiality and security of those efforts. Why not use the EA Forum? While the EA Forum is a valuable resource for animal advocacy dialogue, the FAST forum is designed to foster a more focused and close-knit community. The EA Forum's broad spectrum of topics and distinct cultural norms can be intimidating for some, making it challenging for those specifically focused on animal advocacy to find and engage in targeted conversations. This initiative mirrors other communities such as the AI Alignment Forum, which serve to concentrate expertise and foster discussions in a critically important area. With that in mind, we strongly encourage members to continue sharing key content on the EA Forum for visibility and cross-engagement within the broader EA community.[1] Where do I start? Feel free to join us over at the Animal Advocacy Forum and become an active participant in our growing community.[2] To get started, simply register, complete your profile, and start or contribute to discussions that match your interests and expertise. This is also a great opportunity to introduce yourself and share insights about the impactful work you're doing. Thank you! Thank you to the organizations and individuals who have provided invaluable feedback and support for the forum and FAST's rebranding efforts, including Animal Charity Evaluators, Veganuary, ProVeg International, Stray Dog Institute, Animal Think Tank, Freedom Food Alliance, GFI, and the AVA Summit. Also, a big...

Transcript: Joe Krebs 0:00 2023 marks the beginning of the second decade of agile and for the past 10 years, I've been releasing podcast episodes with a variety of speakers and topics to you. And I hope you enjoy the ride so far. I don't know how many of you guys actually know the beginning of agile, and how it all started. While I started, the idea of a podcast actually started after a visit with Jean Tabaka in New York City, where we recorded again, a audio segment for the New York City community. After the recording, she pointed out that this was a really interesting conversation. And she really enjoyed it. And she thought, why am I only releasing this content to the New York City crowd and not on a world level as a podcast? So I began thinking about it, produced a podcast, and eventually it turned into agile FM, something you'll hopefully enjoy today. So as a tribute to Jean Tabaka, which left us way too soon, in 2016, I decided to re release that original content from 2013 with her. And what's amazing after I really listened to that audio segment with her is how much she already talked about organizational agility, somehow business agility, and some collaboration issues that are still valid today. So thank you, gene for, you know, helping me to get into the podcasting. And, you know, having me indirectly meet so many people on this podcast recordings. But I also wanted to make sure that everybody out there knows how influential Ginger Baker was in a variety of ways, and how valid her books and contents still are today, in 23. So I hope you enjoy this one. And in memoriam here is Jean Tabaka. Agile New York City 2013. Joe Krebs 1:56 I am your host Joe Krebs, and today I'm here with Jean Tabaka. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you so much, Joe. Jean, you're in town for a very special event to the edge on New York City community. We're celebrating our fifth birthday. Today, actually here at Pace University in beautiful, sunny New York City today. So thank you "A" for coming to the podcast. And "B" more important is actually speaking tonight to the edge on New York City community. That's a that's a wonderful thing for you.Jean Tabaka 2:26 Thank you. Thank you so much for inviting me. And I guess I could take a little bit of credit for the wonderful weather I brought from Colorado. What the heck. Yeah. And to be part of the fifth anniversary. Wow, what an honor. So seriously, thank you so much. This is great.Joe Krebs 2:45 Well, thank you, Jean, when I was when I was researching a little bit around your book, actually, in preparation for this podcast, I realized that, although we're turning five years, your book is older than five years. Yeah. Well, your book prior to the creation of agile in New York City. Wow. And it's still up to date. No, no. Should we say the book is timeless? It is it's still valid. I mean, people still read it. It's still a topic of conversation. It's not like a programming language has been outdated. The book is still very relevant. It's collaboration explained.Jean Tabaka 3:23 Right. Interestingly enough. About 2003. I think it was, I'll be talking about this in my talk this evening. But I'd like to really bring it up now. So thank you very much. And I was approached by the executive editor of the Agile Software Development series that was being run by Alistair Cockburn and Jim Highsmith. And he said, someone told me to talk to you. Wow, that was a bit frightening right there. And he said, I gathered that you have a great passion around collaboration, and specifically about how to facilitate collaboration. And I said, Yes, because I believe in the human aspect of agile, I read about it. And I don't see in the books, clear guidance about how to bring about self organization, how to make sure all the voices are heard, and how you can gather the greatest pools of insight. And he said, well, then write a book about it. I said, I could do that. But I think these sorts of things are much better transferred in person. And he said, well write the book. And it took me a long time to write the book, because very honestly, I didn't believe in it. I kept saying to him, but no one will read it. And he said, No, I believe in this book. And in fact, back to your point, Joe, he said, This is material, I believe will live on fact beyond many of the other books and he said if it doesn't, I promise su I'll work with you. I won't publish it if we really don't believe in it. And shoot. It's, it got published. It's gone beyond my wildest expectations. I am blown away, truly humbled by the people who still come to me worldwide and say, Thank you. Thank you for this book. I seriously never would have imagined and the gentleman who urged me to do this. Well, he was right. Yeah.Joe Krebs 5:40 Being persistent, right, and making you believe in, in what you're doing? Yes, even though you might not be seeing it at that point. But I did.Jean Tabaka 5:49 And I think you and I were talking earlier about our technical backgrounds. And I kept thinking, my book really isn't technical. Is it going to allow others to see that I have a technical background? Will it look like soft, fuzzy skills. And that was a part of the challenge for me as well to publish the book. And it's, again, just humbling that it's been welcomed into the community as it has.Joe Krebs 6:18 Well, the the other part of your title collaboration explained is actually facilitation skills for software project leaders. Yes. So what I actually like about this, two aspects of it, which are actually more important than ever, in our Agile community facilitation skills. And in 2006, when he was published your you talked about leadership?Jean Tabaka 6:40 Yes. In fact, that's the first chapter in the book. Wow. Thank you, Joe. Yeah, the first chapter of the book is on servant leadership, and what it takes. And there were people who had told me, Well, first of all, get rid of that chapter. And I just wouldn't, I refused. I believe that as we not just inform the Scrum Masters and the Agile coaches within our agile world, that is, we scale and have agile move outside development organizations, we move out what I'll call the value stream, that organizationally, we have to invite the notion of servant leaders, and people who believe in the insights of the teams as they bring forth their visions. That was very important to me. And that's why I lead the book off with that.Joe Krebs 7:39 So you have been doing this since 98. Yeah, the actual communityJean Tabaka 7:42 I am one of the Agile grandmothers.Joe Krebs 7:47 Since 98, there was also the word software in your book with would that be a word we could almost now like years later, almost eliminated, like because so many people do Agile outside of software development?Jean Tabaka 8:00 That yeah, I think that at the time, because my background was strictly software. I have a graduate degree in computer science learn. And that's all I've ever known about the world. And there's been this slow transformation of how I've gone from being analytical, to be more aware of the creative and humane side of how we create software. When the book first came out, I remember I had a gentleman contact me six months to a year afterward and say, he was from New Zealand. So right then and there again, I was blown away. Wow, my book was selling in New Zealand. And he wrote to me to say, why didn't you put the word software in this title? This book is not about software. It's about how to help organizations really be collaborative, how to facilitate collaboration. I knew about that, only in the software world at the time. And as I now look farther out, and around me, I see that and hear from people. This really isn't just about software. And thank you for helping software people understand the value of it.Joe Krebs 9:18 Why do you think it is that we have seen so many technologies come and go. And the topic of collaboration, facilitation is still very much a coot. I would actually say like it. It's important, more important than ever. What do you think is why technology can't solve specific problems in human behavior? We have all these tools will be now and but it seems like the projects are still not more successful from a from a collaborations perspective. Did you agree or do you do you think just been done some progress?Jean Tabaka 9:54 It's interesting. Originally, my target audience was For people who felt that more control would provide more success in the software world. And so I was trying to help command and control environments move to more collaborative environments. Some stuff I've been reading lately, interestingly enough, is pushing back on the agile movement saying, no people need to be able to work on their own to be truly creative. And I've been responding to that and a couple of posts here and there saying, I all the more believe in facilitation as a role because in this world where creativity needs to come both from the group, the the team, as well as the individual where creativity comes from both spaces. A really well informed and well seasoned facilitator is also sort of paid to be an observer, and to bring out the strengths of the team and the individual. So we raise the overall wisdom of the team, by individual contribution, and by overall team contribution. I don't know if that really answers your question orJoe Krebs 11:14 not? Well, yeah, I've seen like teams, distributed teams primarily, there was like, honestly, Cyril collaboration. They were assigning tickets to each other, talking. And that's not the collaboration I have in mind right?Jean Tabaka 11:29 Now it's not and and thank you for bringing that up. I've worked with a lot of distributed teams teams distributed within the same city within the same same state within the same country within the same continent, and then across three different continents. And again, the assumption is, well, we need to add more and more control. And I recognize that the scaffolding around these environments does require a bit more work than when the team is co located, we lose so much of the communication and the implicit versus explicit communication flow. The the tacit versus tribal knowledge. At the same time, when I've been traveling in India, and China, and Texas, sorry, I had to throw that in there. Talk about three different cultures. And what I have been doing is trying to help leaders in these types of environments understand good facilitation is all the more important. Because what I discovered that is that without good strong facilitation, in each of the remote areas, or distributed areas, as well as across the distributed teams, we can't really be reap the benefits of agile at all. In fact, people will start to become very alienated. And assume, frankly, sabotage by the other people. The only commitment the only communication device you have is a ticket. it for some reason, carries a little, little seed of blame and shame with it. Yes, that's not the intent. But boy, do I see shame and blame flying, you know, transcontinental.Joe Krebs 13:37 It's true. It's true. It's really true. Yeah. Well, you mentioned the Agile. I don't know exactly what you say as a movement or agile. You want to push back a little bit. You actually seeking a lot of advice outside of the Agile community. In your talk tonight, tell me why the Golden Circle of Agile? You you actually outline on our website, which is on www agile nyc.org. You actually say? Simon's you were very much influenced by Simon Sinek actually by a TED talk. Yes. So you're actually reaching out to totally other communities, tribes, so forth for for advice, and you map that to, to agility. Is that right?Jean Tabaka 14:24 Yes. Yeah, I want to clarify that I'm not pushing back on agile. What I'm doing is I'm inviting in and pulling in more resources into my technical world than I ever would have imagined. So initially, I was proud and eager to read as many agile books as I possibly could, and seek out the Agile speakers. Go to Agile conferences. What I'm discovering is that over time for Our agile adoptions to move into Agile transformations to move into organizational transformation. I'm being pulled to seek new guidance back to the talk for this evening. Tell me why and the golden the Golden Circle of Agile. When I saw the TED Talk by Simon Sinek, let's start with I was watching TED Talks. What I've been doing that five years ago. No, is Simon's talk about agile. No. But I listened to it multiple times, and took my own interpretations around it. They're not specifically what Simon says, oh, that sounds funny. Sorry. And then I bought his book, start with why. And it gives so much wonderful humanity underneath this thing called the Golden Circle of why, how what. And I said to myself, that really speaks to me. And it falls in line with some other authors and their books that I've been looking at, again, to broad the value of Agile to reap more benefits of Agile. They're not agile books.Joe Krebs 16:24 You do want to you want to share them with the Agile New York City community, what's on your bookshelf right now? What do you what are you interested in?Jean Tabaka 16:30 Actually, you know, oddly enough, what's more, well, yes, I have a bookshelf full of books. But, okay, this is a little bit of a nod to the Kindle. Because I love these books so much, I bought a Kindle, so I can carry them with me wherever. And, frankly, seriously, I use a Kindle as my library, as my reference library. So if you come through what I have on there, you'll discover every one of these books, I think that one of the biggest influences on me with regard to being a change agent, and therefore someone who believes in Agile transformation has been Seth Gordon. And admittedly, I haven't read all his books. But I would say this was a transformative book for me, and it's linchpin. I don't know if you've read that one, it blows me away. And it he talks about being prepared to bring your gifts and your artistry into your work. And I was thinking about how agile asks so much of us, and that our organizations deserve and should value our gifts and our artistry, I think agile invites that but it never really used those words. And he also says that we with our sense of artistry should be prepared to lean in to do hard things. And as we lean in a true artist chips, there are a couple of other things, he adds him with that. But I'd have to pull up my library to tell you this. Boy have those meant a lot to me with regard to talking about what Agile and how we as individuals work within an Agile transformation, and how an organization should be inviting our artistry and our gifts should help us lean in and ship. A book very similar to that. Daniel Pink's drive, and that has a lot to do with how intrinsic motivation is far more compelling for individuals and teams than extrinsic rewards, or extrinsic. Punishment is too strong a term but if you don't get this done, then you're in trouble. So you have to go into this depth tomorrow. Yeah. Wow, another book, I've been doing a lot. I've been going back to time and time again. And in fact, excuse me. Pardon me, I'm using sort of my metaphor for the year is Dan Heath and Chip his book switch. Again, nothing to do with agile, but has to do with when we're prepared to preparing to be transformative, and they have three metaphors there which are, drive the rider so set a vision, motivate the elephant, which is look into the emotions and the heart of what it takes to go to transformation and then shape the path so ensure that that can occur. And again, I think about Wow, all these things I care passionately with regard to agile, agile teams, agile organizations. I want to give these gifts to people about I get how hard it is. And we're worth we're worthy of what we can get out of that. And then a bit more technical.Joe Krebs 20:14 How do you fight broadening that scope? By looking into other industries? What do you what do you think is going to happen to our community? Or where would you like to see the Agile community? Getting stronger getting? Or emphasizing certain topics? Is there anything based on what you're seeing around? Yeah, John community?Jean Tabaka 20:39 I think I wouldn't be telling you anything new with this answer, but I'll give it to you.Joe Krebs 20:43 Please give it to me. You can decide.Jean Tabaka 20:46 And I believe the original agile movement, had a wonderful focus on how to help development teams deliver, and how to protect them from the tyranny that tended to surround them that held them hostage, in some ways. What I'm hopeful about with regard to reading these new things, and the way that I would invite them into agile communities, is that we are broadening, agile scope. And its focus, and inviting, and we're broadening both into the individual values, and our quality of life. And we're broadening out to the organizational view, and organizational quality of life. This is a hard sell, when I go talk to large organizations, they'll still look at the bottom line. And the reading I've been doing is that the bottom line will take care of itself sounds pretty Frou Frou, whatever the bottom line will take care of itself. When you really believe in the people. Every one of these books says believe in the people care and the people and these other things will take care of themselves. I've also been reading Don Reinertsen must be so I feel sorry. That's okay, I keep interrupting you. So.Joe Krebs 22:21 But that has to be true, right? Like a truthful. You believe in your people? I mean, it has to be, it has to be done right. From an organizational perspective. A lot of people say that it's just like I believe, just take care of your department and takes care of itself. Just focus on the customer. Or other say just focus on the employees, like whatever your viewpoint is. But some organizations try that. And it's still not successful, because they might not be really meeting it. But they're saying, right, yeah, so I guess there's a hidden agenda.Jean Tabaka 22:54 Yes, yes. And again, thinking about some of the things I've been reading in the agile and Google Groups, etc. And talking with organizations is I wonderfully I get paid to go talk with and listen to people. How did I get this lucky? And I hear that agile still puts them on Death Marches instead of one death march at the end. Now we have a death marked every two weeks. Yeah, let's sign up for Agile. And and they're under the Agile tyranny. Yeah, they're they're under some sort of tyranny of time box.Joe Krebs 23:33 So torture. Yeah, every two weeks. And that was not the intent. No, that's that's not the intent. Yeah.Jean Tabaka 23:39 And so as we're trying to do the right thing with agile, I think it's valuable for us to look outside of agile and say, Can we reinforce ourselves of what the intent was? And can we actually have it grow through our nurturing of the intent through these through these other guides?Joe Krebs 24:00 I do want to come back to something very, very tiny, narrow topics is meetings, you said, we already had focus we have created we have created where we are delivering software. So you're doing all these good things with agile but I still observe and I just wanted to ask you, obviously you're sharing this battle Holly, Holly, anyone meetings, meetings, Ali run any in any kind of shape, they run in an effective way? Do you have any advice for the listeners out there? I do like one tip or something, how to run meetings, a little bit more effectiveJean Tabaka 24:39 Habits of Highly Effective facilitator. Okay. And sometimes I think people are looking at me and saying, Well, Jean, when you see everything is a nail, yeah, your hammer is the right tool. I would like to use my company rally software as an example this coming August 1, I'm celebrating my eighth anniversary with the company. Thank you. And I was the first consultant hired into the company. Here I was writing a book I was hired in in 2004. I was writing a book on collaboration and facilitation specifically. We were very small group at the time. And I approached the CEO, Tim and the founder, Ryan, and said, I think we could really benefit from having facilitated meetings, Agile has so many meetings. And they said, Okay, ceremonies that Yeah, show us what you've got eight, seven and a half years later, we do not have any major meetings without a facilitator. We are an organization of facilitation. And this has not been through me pushing it on people. It has been through groups pulling it. This is not just the development teams, it's every department in the company. We have retrospectives, we have planning meetings. And we now actually have a facilitators group. And we check in with one another about what are you running into? What are some more things you've been reading besides genes, but we truly believe now we are a facilitation driven organization. And when I can bring that message into other organizations, because they say, agile is killing us there are too many meetings, then what I talked about with them is how effective are your meetings? What are you doing to ensure that they meet a purpose that they don't go on forever and ever, that they don't suffer from what I call LV di D? Yeah, loudest voice driven development, loudest voice decision making driven decisions. The facilitator is there to protect everyone and make sure everyone's heard and understood in a safe environment that I believe is truly critical to Agile. And that's why I think facilitation is a isn't great and necessary tool in the Agile set of tools.Joe Krebs 27:11 How do you see like social media networks, influencing the focus of today's meetings? Do you think that's like with Twitter, with Facebook with all these technical capabilities of instant messaging? Do you think that has any influence negatively on an agile project?Jean Tabaka 27:31 Well, what I can say is that being the one of the grandmothers out there, figure template inish, initially, I put push back very hard on no electronics in meetings, what I've come to believe more valuable is our intentions in meetings, and how electronic service services again, I'll just use my own company. But I've seen it in other companies, where we make agreements with one another at the start of a meeting, we declare our intentions, and the use of electronics. For instance, recently, we had a meeting where we wanted a colleague engaged. And so we just put her in Google Chat, turned in video chat and turned around and sat in a chair and major part of our meeting. In almost every one of our conference rooms, we now have very large high def, panel screens on the walls, so that we can have people in the meetings. And people will also say I need electrons, I need to have my electronics on because I need to stay in I Am. Part of it is so that we make decisions very quickly that we remove the waste of if someone's not in the meeting, we bring in their information to make decisions more informed and faster than waiting until outside the meeting. So theJoe Krebs 29:02 technology is related to the meeting itself to the Yeah, no, it's not like just chatting with somebody about something totally unrelated to the meeting. WeJean Tabaka 29:10 have meetings that still suffer from that. Yeah. And we as facilitators are learning how to check in with people about the agreements, the intentions and the norms. And I'll ask very specifically, who knows right now that they need to be in email. Okay. Yeah, email. Well, yeah, tell me that. Yes. I I have a burning issue that I need to be engaged in and therefore the rest of the group understands why that person is doing email and the others aren't. Yeah. And we still struggle with that.Joe Krebs 29:44 You said you started as a consultant with a rally Yes, but your title now is fellow keen on finding out what a fellow does for rally. Ah, tell me a little bit about Your day. What are how does a typical day of gene debate look like? What I would ColoradoJean Tabaka 30:06 in Boulder, beautiful Boulder, Colorado? Believe it or not, this is something of an emotional question and answer for me. I have loved my work as an agile consultant. I have loved and continue to love working with rally. It is the best job I've ever had in my 30 plus years in the technology community. Well, as the first consultant I help define what we would look like as consultants. One of the big things being we would be highly facilitated. When I moved into the role of agile fellow, the intention was, this is going to sound a little self serving that I would travel less travel less. But now you know something about that. What, what has been so deeply rewarding to be agile fellow is that I actually travel more. And it has to do with the fact that I read a lot more and I blog more. And I work with different levels, higher levels in organizations. And how we came up with the word fellow was we brainstormed and said we don't know what to call this. Let's just call it an agile fellow for now. But it's not an untypical definition. I didn't want to be called an agile thought leader. I thought that was pompous. And yeah, a bit assumptive. But I did want to be someone in the rally community and then in the community at large that where I made an intention of I'm here to share ideas and bring in as we talked about earlier, ideas that aren't even necessarily from agile books.Joe Krebs 31:55 What do you do to relax during boredom? I do try to get a feeling of what is are you scared? Are you ski?Jean Tabaka 32:02 Oh, well, I'm an extremely bad skier. But you ski Yeah. I just went skiing a couple of weeks ago and suffered about five major bruises all over my body and knocked my noggin my head pretty badly. I've broken a leg skiing. I skied into a tree two very badly sprained ankles. And then this two weeks ago, the worst bruises of my life. And I still get out there. It's so beautiful. Wow, I it is so beautiful.Joe Krebs 32:40 You're a skier in training. Claiming like, as we discussed earlier, we still feel like we're in graduate school. Yes, right. And you're stillJean Tabaka 32:50 I'll be in kindergarten as king. And I do love. The other thing about living in Boulder. I chose to live there 12 years ago. It's a beautiful place. There is a lot of entrepreneurship. There's a lot of sense of sustainability, and social impact and giving back to the community. And I've had the deep honor of being engaged with some of the social initiative clubs at the University of Colorado, and also helping with some of the entrepreneur programs. I'm helping set up an agile conference at the University in September. That may not sound like leisure. Okay, let's back off. When when you're passionate about your work, it bleeds back and forth. It really does.Joe Krebs 33:43 You know, it's like, what weekday is it and you will realize how I work on Sundays. But you don't feel it.Jean Tabaka 33:49 And I am trying to move away from so much of my reading, feeding into my passion about work. And actually this summer part of the rally program for having been at the company seven years, I'll be celebrating my anniversary. We get six weeks of sabbatical. So I'm intending to truly take six weeks completely away from my passion around agile.Joe Krebs 34:17 Will that be New York?Jean Tabaka 34:19 It's going to it's going to be in an undisclosed location in France, okay for four weeks of intense language immersion. And I have reasons for doing that which go back to Seth Gordon, and my need to lean in and ship.Joe Krebs 34:39 Awesome. With Thank you, Jean, thank you for your time here. It's been a delight prior to your talk. I just want to highlight that one more time. Tell me why they go in so called Agile we're gonna hear your talk later. At Pace University at our fifth anniversary. It's not a lot. Yay, but it's five years and it's good moment for us to reflect. And we're happy to have an amazing speaker like you onstage. And not only onstage, but also on the ground, actually where we have food, drinks and we can stay for some drinks. That's aJean Tabaka 35:13 hobby. That's food and drinks. Yeah. And music,Joe Krebs 35:17 drinks music, and so we have a good time. Thank you again.Jean Tabaka 35:22 Well, I'll tell you that again. Thank you so much. And thank you for inviting my topic about tell me why that is a passion of mine. I don't think I understood it back when I was an agile neophyte, and learning just how to work within teams. I now look at how passion drives us and should drive the organization. And as Simon Sinek would stay, I would say start with why and that's start with your passion and your vision. That's what I'll be talking about this evening.Joe Krebs 35:55 Thank you, Jean. Thank you so much. Bye bye.

In the summer of 1980, a beloved 30-year-old schoolteacher, wife, and mother was murdered with an ax in her Texas home while her husband was away on a business trip. This killing and the subsequent discovery of her killer were so shocking that both Hulu and HBO Max have shows based on the case, though the belief of what really happened that fateful day remains divided.

Most people can't imagine a form of the Internet that doesn't involve the World Wide Web. In fact, the World Wide Web and the Internet are so deeply entwined that the majority of users don't even realize there's a difference. But that's only because the World Wide Web was the winning technology. In the early days of the Web – i.e. the early 1990s – it was competing with other, similar technologies. In fact, some of those other technologies were significantly more popular.The most popular of those competitive technologies was called Usenet. And, just like the Web, Usenet users needed a way to search. That's why Steve Madere built Deja. Deja was the search engine for Usenet, and had things gone a little different in Internet history, we might have been talking about "deja-ing" to find what we need instead of "googling."In this episode of Web Masters, you'll hear the story of how Steve built Deja and how it could have been as impactful as Google.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

Devin: What do you think of as your superpower?Ben: I think I had a really interesting experience coming out of college. I grew up in, you know, upper-middle-class suburbs in New York of New York City. Then after college, my first job I got by happenstance was as an intern for the National Office of the NAACP. I was often the only white person in the room, which is just not an experience that I think a lot of my peers have ever had. I don’t know how to translate that into a superpower, but I think a level of empathy, a level of humility, understanding that while I have some great ideas, they’re just ideas.Devin: Meg, what do you think of as your superpower?Meg: I’m going to also say empathy, but I have a different life experience than Ben. I mean it in a slightly different way. I see my superpower as having the ability to help people tell their stories.Ben Wrobel, director of communications at Village Capital, and Meg Massey, a freelance journalist, have partnered to author a seminal new work called Letting Go: How Philanthropists and Impact Investors Can Do More Good by Giving Up Control.Meg summarizes the book succinctly: “We talk about how funders can and should integrate the people that they’re hoping to serve and support with their funding into the decision-making process.”There are two distinct audiences for the book, philanthropists and impact investors. While many do both, the two activities are treated mainly as two separate disciplines. Ben notes that the authors struggled about whether to include both but did because “a lot of the general principles are the same.”Village Capital is known for its unusual funding model. Ben explains:The model we have is called peer-selected investment, and we bring together 12 entrepreneurs that are working in the same sector, but not direct competitors. Twelve African entrepreneurs working on fintech, for instance. We put them through a training investment readiness program. Everyone gets a benefit out of it. But at the end of the program, the group engages in this very open, transparent ranking process and ultimately selects two of their peers to receive funding from our fund. Village Capital was formed to address a related problem in the venture capital community. “The reason village capital was created by Ross Baird and others early, early on was because venture capital, they argued, was a very closed off hegemonic sphere where a few people in a few cities are making decisions about our collective future,” Ben says.He notes, however, that Village Capital’s approach is different from the model he and Meg document in the book. “The mechanics of it are more about asking social entrepreneurs to make decisions rather than, let’s say, people living in a specific community or people with disabilities like we’ve seen with some other participatory funding models.” Meg notes that this has been a blind spot for impact investors. “Impact Investing has largely been about what you’re investing in and not how you’re doing it, that process. And there’s a lot of top-down.”The nonprofit arena has a similar problem, Ben says. “Philanthropy is largely male, largely white, largely based in a few places. Any sort of funding model where the people making decisions aren’t necessarily representative of the world at large is where participatory funding can be helpful.”Participating can be difficult, Meg notes. “If you haven’t taken the economics class, if you haven’t worked at a bank or just had any professional experience in finance, something—‘cap size,’ ‘market share’—like these are normal terms for investors, but they can be really intimidating to people who aren’t part—who don’t live and breathe that work.”Meg and Ben connected at the GIIN conference for impact investors in Amsterdam. Together, they saw a problem. “There’s a panel on support in sub-Saharan Africa that’s like five white guys from Europe,” Meg says.The book set out a nine rung ladder investors and philanthropists can climb to move from traditional to fully participatory models. Ben summarizes the process as three key steps.“At the very bottom there, you have a process that’s not participatory; it’s you simply make a decision and then move on with your life,” Ben says.“Up in the middle of the ladder is what we call consulting,” Ben explains. “Sometimes at its worst, it’s maybe token listening where you’re saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to hold a community meeting. We’re going to invite folks to join a zoom and weigh in on our investment strategy.’ But ultimately, there are no teeth to that.”“The top rung is true participation, and really the distinction there goes beyond listening,” Ben says. “It means that there is a mechanism in place for community members, for people who have lived experience to have a vote. In its purest form, it’s going to be a decision about who you invest in.”Meg provided an example. Mama Cash is a grantmaking organization that transitioned to becoming fully participatory. “They found that their staff, rather than kind of being grant analysts and making all these decisions, were facilitating the process of having their current and former grantees review applications and vote. They were given this role, and they were also trained in how to do it.” The participatory approach is snowballing, Meg says. “Ben and I were interviewing different participatory grantmakers around the world. They started a Google Group, which then turned into a Slack community, which went from those dozen people, now over seven hundred members around the world.”Empathy is a superpower both Meg and Ben use to enable their work.Superpowers for Good is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a paid subscriber.How You Can Develop Empathy As a SuperpowerBen sees empathy as being a radical step for investors and grantmakers. I think participatory grant-making and participatory investing, whether it's on the institutional level or on the personal level, is it's a really radical action to take. I mean, we try not to frame it as radical because, at the end of the day, it is just grant-making. It's not rocket science. But the empathy part of it is radical.Doing participatory funding “is a radical act of empathy,” he adds.Ben sees a foundational problem in his peer group. A lot of young people have the idea of wanting to save the world. There's a problem out there. It can be solved. And if it can be solved, it can be solved by the power of your own intellect. Just like a homework assignment at a liberal arts college, right? It's the perfect attitude for a generation raised on the like the optimism of the “West Wing” and the clean logic of “Freakonomics.”Ben sees this as arrogance that can impede finding more effective solutions, something he now recognizes in himself. “I’ll suddenly just get really into [a solution to a problem] and push and say, ‘This is what we need to be doing. This is it. Let’s go for it.’ And I forget that five days before, I knew nothing about this topic and still only have a third-hand understanding of it.”Humility and empathy enable a more inclusive approach that puts decision-making closer to the beneficiaries.Meg uses her empathy superpower to help other people tell better stories. She offers some storytelling advice. “You always have a beginning, middle and end, which seems obvious. You’d be surprised at how many stories are missing one of those components.”Then she notes that building tension is a critical element of a story. “What keeps us reading thrillers or watching TV shows is they build up what’s going to happen.”“The best writers for television, they’ve mastered managing that tension,” she adds.Grantwriters face significant challenges today. One complained to Meg about the labor-intensive forms and seemingly irrelevant questions. “We don’t speak the same language.”“Storytelling is a universal language,” Meg says.If you work at implementing steps to activate your empathy, like Meg and Ben, you can make it a superpower that can influence every other skill you have, enabling you to have more significant impact.

In this episode, Alexandra Panos interviews Jessica Nina Lester and Trena Paulus about doing qualitative research in digital words. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for digital methods and strategies has never been stronger. This conversation addresses important practice and theoretic questions for approaching digital inquiry. Digital Tools for Qualitative Research - Trena M. Paulus, Jessica N. Lester, Paul Dempster Doing Qualitative Research in a Digital World - Trena M. Paulus, Jessica N. Lester The following includes the transcript of the talk. (please excuse minor transcription errors) Alexandra Hello there and welcome to qualitative conversations a podcast hosted by the qualitative research special interest group of the American Educational Research Association. I'm Alexandra Panos an assistant professor of literacy studies and an affiliate faculty member in research and measurement at the University of South Florida. I also have the pleasure to serve as program coach with Cassie Quigley for the call SIG. And I'm delighted to be here with doctors Trina Paulus and Jessica Nina Lester to talk about the role digital tools play in qualitative research. Dr. Paulus is a professor in the Research Division of Family Medicine and director of undergraduate research and creative activities, as well as an affiliate faculty member with the Applied Social Research Laboratory at East Tennessee State University. Dr. Paulus's scholarship is primarily in the area of methodological innovation, especially as it intersects with new technologies. Dr. Lester is an associate professor of inquiry methodology in the School of Education at Indiana University Bloomington. Her scholarship focuses primarily on discourse and conversation analysis, disability studies, and more general concerns related to crop qualitative research. Dr. Paulus and Dr. Lester have co authored with sage, the 2014 book digital tools for qualitative research, and an exciting new and in press volume, titled doing qualitative research in a digital world. Thank you both so much for joining it today and sharing your time and energies. Thanks for inviting us. Yes, thank you so much. I'm truly excited to learn from you both and really just want to dive right into our conversation if that's okay. And I wanted to start with Alexandra a question that situates us in the here and now, given the shifts that have happened worldwide over the last 10 months with the covid 19 pandemic? Can you share a bit about what from your perspective, this really means for qualitative researchers? And how digital tools might play into this? Trina Yeah, so it's kind of this been this weird experience of being in the right place at the right time, or being in the right place at the wrong time? I don't know. But you know, COVID-19 is impacted all researchers in significant ways, for sure. And, you know, we had started writing this new edition of the book, Trina fully revamped book that's coming out shortly, a couple of years ago, actually. And then when COVID-19 hits sage really asked us to try to wrap it up, because researchers really needed some guidance for how to basically do their research in a new way. Trina And so how do we make sense of those spaces? How do we look at online interaction as a source of data as qualitative researchers, you know, we are interested in the human experience and understanding it as qualitative researchers, and that is now completely emeshed with, you know, doing business, doing education doing everything online. So, you know, there's new opportunities here, even though you know, most people have been, you know, there there are researchers have been doing this for a while, we all kind of have to consider how online spaces might be treated as a source of data, how our experiences are different. Trina And so while I think kind of one of the first things people want to know is how do we do interviews in zoom? It's, it's more than that. It's that we're all now spending lots and lots of time in zoom. So how can we understand what's happening there? So we've got digital tools, digital spaces, and also the digital space as a phenomenon in and of itself. Those are just a few of my initial thoughts. Jessica, what do you think? Jessica Yeah, I mean, I think that one of the things that's really helpful to keep in mind and in this moment, even though there's this you know, it feels like such a significant and even forced shift for qualitative research, I do think it's helpful to remind ourselves that this move to doing qualitative work and online spaces is not particularly new. And there's really a vast body of literature that we can draw upon to support us and offer some guidance to the questions that we're facing. And even really provoke us to think more about what it means to do qualitative research and be a qualitative researcher in a, you know, a historical moment where we're not just using technologies, but we're living through them even as researchers, and we're making meaning with them. So I think that's something for us to kind of use as a way to frame this particular moment. And that there's resources that we can turn back to, but that also, these are important questions that we should be asking ourselves about our work, and about what it means to make sense of meaning making in a space where technologies are really intersecting with everyday life. Alexandra Thanks, yeah, it's, it's, um, it's a lot to process. And I appreciate your point about that. Sometimes it does feel for Steven F, for we're all going through it. And it makes me think a little bit about design, designing scholarship right now designing qualitative scholarship right now. So I wonder if you can speak a little bit about how you work through as a qualitative researcher having to adjust your expectations about a research project, when what you'd hope to do isn't currently feasible. Given realities? Yeah, I Jessica can speak to that a little bit. You know, one thing that I often talk with about this question in relationship to students coming to me and saying, I can't do what I hope to do, particularly in this, this given moment, what are my options, and I think it is helpful to think about that, you certainly can return back to your original design and think about if there are ways that you can transform some of those methodologies and methods in engaging with digital tools, that you could digitize some of them, for instance. And then also, it is possible that you actually have to go back to the drawing board. And one of the things that you could potentially engage with is really thinking about designing a study, from the get go, that really engages in with digital spaces. And what that might mean is that you expand definitions of data. And this can be really exciting. And you can engage with new kinds of data that you hadn't even envisioned engaging with before. And so I think, you know, there are those two pathways to think about turning back to that original design and potentially, in some way, digitizing that original design or really rethinking it. And I think that this is an okay thing. I think that, you know, part of part of methodology writ large, is that it's always in the making. And so right now, our methodologies are in a really real way intersecting with technologies. And so what that means is that methodology is being remade. And that's, there's something also really both challenging, and also, potentially really exciting about kind of that moment. So at the same time, I think what that also means is, as we think about re envisioning a study, that we also have to keep in mind that the technologies that we engage with are, of course, not neutral. And they are, of course, you know, always fraught with consequences, including, you know, political consequences and equitable access. And so this is certainly something that we also want to set with as we think about our design, and particularly as we think about redesigning a study. Alexandra It's so helpful. I wonder if there are theoretical perspectives that have you found particularly helpful for conducting this kind of Digital Research and turning to to the stat sitting with process that you spoke of? Jessica Yeah, I can speak Jessica to this, this idea of theories that have informed our work, and I think I'll just share a little bit of a story of how we're coming to think with theory now. So. So first off, so just in general, if you were to engage with the literature around technology and qualitative research over the last, you know, about decade, you would probably conclude that qualitative researchers have historically kind of held on to this view of what's often referred to as technological determinism. So that's this orientation that humans are essentially passing And therefore, they must adapt to changes that technology forces upon them. So this particular view is one that often assumes that it's intrinsically best and most efficient technology will be adopted regardless of the context. And so this particular view is one that when Trina and I wrote the our first book, around digital tools and qualitative research, we really explicitly wanted to counter this perspective that was in the methodological literature. And in some ways, we did this implicitly, but what we really argued for was thinking about the ways in which we as qualitative researchers could really use technology to do things that we wanted it to do. So we didn't position ourselves that's passive. And so within this viewpoint, then qualitative researchers could be thought of as kind of retaining control of qualitative data analysis software, for instance, and not assuming that the software would control the study. So technology, and from this perspective, would be theorized and viewed as not just instrumental, but really positioned as what a human qualitative researcher can use it to do. But after we were wrote our first book on this topic I ran across a book that Katherine Adams and Terri Lynn Thompson had written, which was titled, researching a post human world interviews with digital objects. And in their book, they engaged with new materialistic post qualitative perspectives, and really offers some interesting ideas about how we as qualitative researchers are really intermingled intertwined with digital technologies. And as a read, I saw some references to our book. And so I immediately texted Trina and Katrina, someone has something to say about our book. And, and ultimately, it was a critique, it was a critique of our view of technology that we crafted in the first book was really not engaging and a full way with the ways in which technology really can be conceptualized and theorize as being co researchers with us that there's a dialectic. And so in our newest book, we really take up this critique and have begun to think more with you've been realistic ideas of technology, as well as some of the critical theories related to technological use. And we have found that to be really helpful, and generative, and pushing our thinking about how technologies are co researchers with us and are entangled with us in the process that is then something that we have to really think carefully about, and think about the implications of the tools that we use, and the ways that we're engaging in meaning making. Alexandra That I love hearing the story of how these texts evolve over time one, it also makes me wonder, the about the ethical and privacy considerations is something that's important when you do that kind of Digital Research when you are intermingled. So I wonder if you could share a little about that. Trina Yeah, I can talk a little bit about that. Because it does these issues come up a lot. In the work that I do. And the researchers that I work with these, I'm primarily looking at Digital spaces, online communities and online groups as a source of data. So I think the first thing to think about is that, you know, we always are dealing with ethical issues and privacy considerations when we're doing qualitative research as qualitative researchers, you know, we're often looking very deeply and intensely at people's lives. And so it's always different than if you're giving a survey or doing you know, lab based research is different kinds of ethics. The good thing is that there's actually been a lot of scholarship around ethics and Digital Research for many years. In fact, when we were writing this book, I couldn't believe the proliferation of entire texts on digital ethics that appeared since we wrote the first book in 2014. So there's a lot of guidance out there for sure. A couple of the things that issues that come up frequently for me in in when I'm giving talks and talking with people about it, is the issue of digital traces. And the fact that so much of us are so much of our lives now even before the pandemic world lived on the internet and in the cloud and with mobile devices. And as we go through the world, we're live leaving digital traces everywhere. And whether or not those should be treated as a source of data is the is one of the big issues, right? Who owns those traces? And whose permission Do you need to get to look at those as a data source? institutional review boards often are getting better about having policies around this, but they don't always know how to guide researchers. And sometimes, even though technically, the IRB approves the study, because they don't consider looking at online discussion posts as human subjects research because they're publicly visible, just because they say it's not human subjects research may not automatically mean that it's ethical to look at online discussion posts as a source of data without telling anyone. So I think that thinking about who owns these spaces, who's interacting on these spaces, who has access to them? I think, you know, there, there are no hard and fast rules, because the landscape is changing all the time, right? Like we have Tick Tock now, and we didn't even have that before. So how do we think about Tick Tock as a source of research data. But a few things to think about is, you know, I'm working in a medical school context now. So I hear a lot more about you know, the do no harm, first, do no harm mandate. And so you want to first be sure you're not harming or putting anybody at risk, whether that's an entire online community that no one would have known about until you wrote a paper about it, or if it's about an individual who was posting under their real identity, about a very sensitive illness online, and you bring attention to them inadvertently, or, or on purpose. really thinking about that is, of course, the basis and the fundamental issue around ethics. I've been also thinking about privacy. Do they expect that that this community is private? You know, is it really just for insiders? How can you respect people's privacy? At what point do you need to get informed consent, which may be very difficult when people are in online communities not as themselves, but under an assumed identity assumed identity? How do you navigate that? And so keeping identities private, protecting the data? If you do store? If you do treat it as data, then how can you make it as hard to track down the original sources possible? And then if you do do that, is it changing the essence of the data, or the essence of those online interactions, so that it actually might impact how you interpret it? So those are things that we have to struggle with? how sensitive are the topics that people are talking about? And again, you know, just trying not to put people at risk. So I think the good news, like I said, is that there are lots of case studies. The one of the best sources for guidance around this is the Association of internet researchers, they're actually on their third version of their ethics guidelines that came out, I think the most recent one came out this year. Trina And they really, you know, cover, it's all on a continuum. And they give a lot of holistic advice in terms of things to think through. And what I will always say on this topic, really is that if you can do research with people instead of on them, these issues are going to be much easier to navigate. If you want to look at an online community, get in touch with whoever's in that community and see what kinds of topics they would like you to study, and what would they like to know more information about, so that you're actually working in collaboration with the people that you want to understand better? Alexandra Thank you for that for the wonderful resource. And then just the plugs, work with folks to Trina think about their community. Yeah. Alexandra So important, simple, and, and really effective, I Alexandra think. Alexandra So I want to turn a little bit towards method here. And I'm wondering what tips you have for that data collection process online? Or how to think about additional sources of data to look for once you move research into those online spaces. Trina Yeah, and I can talk a little bit about that, too. I think, you know, one of the first things to ask is, okay, where are people talking about the issues that I'm interested in? So your research question like and just to give you an example of one of the earliest cities I did that was outside of an educational context. I'd collaborated with Dr. Mary Alice, Varga who's at the University of West Georgia now, and she's one of her areas is grief counseling. And she was really interested in why people choose to go to grief support groups or not, when you've suffered a loss, you know, you know, you're you're advised to kind of get support, but sometimes it's hard for people to go to grief counseling either individual or in a group. But we discovered or she discovered that there Actually a lot of online grief support groups out there. And she was really curious about why are people going online to get support when we have all of this in person counseling. And so we were able to analyze an online grief support group to kind of understand how people constructed their grief in those spaces. And those findings then could speak back to how people were doing grief counseling offline, you know, so in a pandemic, you may only have access to these online spaces, because so much of our in person services are no longer operating. If you think about any kind of social human experience, phenomenon, social science topic that you're interested in, think about where people talking about it, and just do some investigating. And we make the distinction in the book between naturally occurring or pre existing sources of data, which are things that are already out in the world, Reddit forums, tick tock, lots of online support groups for people who have specific illnesses. And they're just grassroots efforts or they're supported by a certain professional organization, travel blogs, and forums, Google Groups I hear is a huge source for parents trying to school their kids in the pandemic, there's all these neighborhoods and friend groups, setting up Google Groups, test text message threads. There's lots of places where people are talking electronically, and they have been for years, but now especially there's electronic conversations going on, that might give you insight into how people are talking about things without people talking to a researcher directly. research agenda generated data is when I decide to go interview someone, they're talking to me as a researcher, so they'll give me you know, their thoughts on things up to a point up to what they're willing to disclose to a researcher that they may not know that well. So that's important data. But what's really interesting is to see how people are going about their lives in these spaces without researcher intervention. And that can give us some really interesting insights that we wouldn't get otherwise. Alexandra That's, that's really interesting to think about all of those spaces that we're all contributing to right now. Trina Exactly. QR SIG AD Right. So that's really interesting. The qualitative research special interest group was established in 1987. To create a space within the American Educational Research Association. For the discussion of ethical, philosophical and methodological issues in qualitative research. We invite you to consider joining the qualitative research thing today. for members of a era the annual fee for joining qualitative research special interest group for regular non graduate student members is $10. And the annual fee for graduate students is $5. As members of the QR SIG, you will gain access to a network of fellow qualitative scholars, as well as our many activities ranging from mentoring opportunities to our podcast series to updates and news related to recent qualitative publications and jobs. Please visit the American educational research associations website at www dot att era dotnet to join the qualitative research SIG today. Alexandra I guess something else I'm thinking about is that this idea that much might be lost when doing online interviews, interviewing is such a staple. For us as qualitative researchers, I think, do you have any thoughts or tips for enriching interview data beyond the recorded audio when we're working with digital tools? Jessica Yeah, I can, I can speak to this. And I think a useful place to start in response to this is actually to flip the script a bit on this. So rather than assuming that, you know, much is lost, I really prefer to think about it as just being different. I think it's really important to keep in mind that, you know, historically, face to face interviews, in qualitative research have really rested on some pretty notable assumptions about what it means to do qualitative research and about what participants should be doing and how they should be doing it. I have a favorite paper that was written by two critical disability studies scholars, Stephanie Kershaw and Margaret price in I think, was 2017. And their paper was was focused on thinking about how we can center disability and qualitative interviewing. And one of the things that they noted was that interviews writ large, and they were speaking both to those conducted in face to face contacts and as well as online, but that they really rely upon normative conceptions of body mind. So people, you know, ask a verbal question. And participants are expected to respond in a particular way. And we assume that language given in a particular way, and shared in a particular way is how it will occur. So it's a very normative assumption about even meaning making. So I say that because I think it's really important that we're reflective and careful about orienting to interviewing, as it has always been done as the only or even best way to capture making sense of people's lives and experiences. You know, we do know from some groups of people that this really has not been their experience of this method and crush on price speak to that a little bit from their own experience. Um, so then, if you are conducting interviews in a virtual space, I do suggest that you, you know, really orient to it as different. And certainly, there are important considerations, some of which are similar to face to face interviews, and others that are really unique to the particular technologies that you're using. You know, so like, an example of this might be, you know, if you want to consider whether videos will be turned on or off, and what does this mean for things like rapport building, or even how participants might experience a researcher viewing their private spaces. So, you know, corresponding price. They also argued that, even though you know, there has been this writing, and kind of argument from some researchers that we need to consider the significance of digital interviewing methods, because they do create access. And some people, some participants prefer that kind of interviewing space. They even pointed out in their work that even in these digital spaces, there can be this over reliance on kind of a normative body mind way of thinking about interaction. So I think in general, the real key is just to be critical, regardless of kind of the the modality that the interview is taking place in. And so as a starting point, I always encourage folks to, to your number one turn to your participants, to invite them to share with you ways that they can share their experience and their lives. In these digital spaces. They might have ideas, first, you know, ways that they want to do screen sharing, or even apps that are really useful in their own lives for sharing how they're going about living their lives. And also, you know, there is, again, a really nice body of literature that you can turn to, to get some guidance. You know, beyond Kershaw on prices article, Janet salmons has written a lot about online interviewing. And I also think it's useful to turn to some of the critical methods writing in the disability studies community that has really problematized interviewing, and both face to face and online spaces, and also highlighted how, you know, we never want to rest easy with being armed with a bunch of methods, literature, but the real importance of turning back to our participants to really help us understand better how we can collect data that allows us then to make sense of meaning making Alexandra you for, for talking through that and flipping that script, I think it's so important, and I just learned so much. And I want to turn now to your point about what the data is how we how we cope, how we collected or generated. So to think about technology, I guess I'm wondering if there are any, you know, specific particular platforms, technologies, devices that you have found particularly beneficial, and that you use when you're doing digital research? Yeah, I Jessica mean, you know, one of the challenges is that there are so many. And so of course, it depends on the the study and the nature of the project that you're working on itself. In our in our new book, one of the things that we have throughout is, is more than 40 vignettes, so on the ground researchers that describe their work and the specific tools that supported their work and that they engaged in. And so I think one of the ways to learn about what's out there is is really to engage with the writing of on the ground researchers who are are working across a range of disciplines and therefore asking really different kinds of questions that lead them to engage with different technologies. But again, you know, it really does depend on on the study and the nature of the project project. So if, for instance, I'm working with Instagram data, there are particular applications that I would use As I would download and format my image base data, versus when I'm working with interview data collected via zoom or another video conferencing platform. So it really does depend on the design of the study. And this is something that we've described in our writing as being part of you're generating your own Digital Research workflow. So in my own work, regardless of the project, I typically use qualitative data analysis software, specifically, I'm an atlas ti user, and recently have begun to delve into learning and using max q da. I mean, I use qualitative data analysis software really to manage and organize the entirety of my research study, including things like my literature review, and also using various features within a package to write up some of my my early findings within the package itself. So in this way, I, I personally orient to qualitative data analysis software, as kind of being like the the One Stop Shop that supports many of the aspects of my digital workflow. And I think what's important is that we we all individually spend time really not just designing our study, but thinking about where it intersects with our own Digital Research workflow, and identify ways that that can support the the work that we're interested in pursuing. Alexandra It's really helpful. I love the idea of a digital workflow and just having that be part of a study design and thinking through it that way. And I guess another sort of staple for us as qualitative researchers is transcribing data. I wonder about your preferred methods for that process? I know there's there's a lot of literature around transcription. But what what are you guys seeing right now? Trina Yeah, so that is, a whole chapter of the book is about innovations in transcription, because this is one of the areas that has really changed a lot since we wrote the 2014 book, in part because of just the leaps and bounds that auto transcription, artificial intelligence supported transcription tools, what they're able to do now such as Trent temi, otter AI, there's a lot of them out there, and they are getting better and better all of the time. And and just as an example of that, for the for people using zoom, you may have noticed that if your institution subscribes to it, you will actually get an automatically generated zoom transcript, which is phenomenal, if you're doing your interviews in zoom. And I would say this is actually where online interviews are hugely advantageous over face to face because there's an automatically generated transcript at the end. Now, granted, we all know that you have to make edits. But compared to what this used to look like the edits, if it's good sound quality, standard English or standard version of whatever language you're speaking in. If the conditions are right, the transcript can really be amazing. So for, you know, video conference type interviews, you know, if there's an automatically generated transcript, that's definitely a great place to start. This summer, I actually used Trent for the first time as a first pass to transcribe some patient, patient interviews, the health care providers, students in the health professions, were interviewing standardized patients. And I had a bunch of video data. So I ran it through Trent as a first pass it automatically it timestamps that automatically you can edit the transcript within Trent. It's a great data storage, it's all cloud based. So you do have to get IRB approval, and we didn't have any HIPAA data, HIPAA protected data, so it worked for us. But I do think that looking into some of these AI based services is definitely worth it as a first pass, if you're not actually conducting the interviews in zoom, another really good tool is ink scribe i en que se RIBE. It also lets you timestamp because what that means is if you can synchronize your recording with the transcript that is just so beneficial as a qualitative researcher so that you're not just relying on the words, you can actually click anywhere in the transcript and listen to that interaction again. And so Jessica and I both do conversation analysis and discourse analysis and other language based analytic methods were how people speak is as important as what they say. And so the technology, the ability to not just rely on the written transcript, but to be able to go back and listen again to how something said that's just been invaluable. And so I think we do need to really think about transcription as part of that overall Digital Research workflow. And there are cases in which some of the qualitative data analysis platforms We'll support that as well. So if you're using the Mac version of Atlas ti, I think that you can actually transcribe within that software. And the same with in vivo and Max q da, they provide the ability to do synchronize transcripts. So it's definitely worth thinking about how that's going to be integrated into the whole process. And, Jessica, I'm not sure if you wanted to add something on this one, too. Jessica Yeah, I was just gonna also say that is the one of the things that I think is really interesting about new technologies as they relate to transcription is, I think it's a really vivid example of how you can see innovations and technologies shaping how we think about method and methodology. And so what I mean by that is, you know, many of the qualitative analysis software packages now allow us to do import in a fairly fluid way. sizable video based data sets, though I work with a lot of video based data in my own scholarship, and they're relatively large data sets. So working with, you know, upwards of 100 plus hours of interactional data. And one of the things that these new innovations have really pushed to the fore is questions around do we even need to be transcribing our entire data set? And why are we transcribing our entire data set? What might it mean to leverage things like directly, Trina directly Jessica analyzing with the tools that are embedded within qualitative analysis, software packages, or video, and then we're selectively transcribing our data. And these questions, of course, become really pertinent when you're working with large datasets and just thinking about transcribing, which has been the norm and conversation, analytic work and much of discourse analysis as well. You transcribe everything and you transcribe everything, using transcription systems that are really, really intense, and take an extensive amount of time. So there's this time issue, but then there's also what's I think, arising is questions around why are we doing what we're doing. And I think if we trace across time, we'll see that there is a lot of methodological shift that happens in relationship to technological innovation. I mean, even if we just think about interviewing, how we collected interview data has radically shift as the development of recording technologies came to be, and then a refinement of those. And so I think right now, a really compelling and provocative and important question that I do hope that we, as a community, spend time really wrestling with is what is the place of transcription? And what might it mean to think about transcription differently at the intersection of technology and our methodological practice. Alexandra But I'm really thinking a lot about what you just said, I'm gonna send you a message after. Um, so I guess another question that I'm wondering about is the tools what tools are you using for storing all this massive amounts of data and these big files, etc, in both an accessible yet also secure way? Trina Yeah, you know, my biggest recommendation there is to use whatever your university is supporting, because you don't want to get in so like, at my institution, it's OneDrive, right Microsoft product, and, yeah, it may not be like the easiest, most accessible in terms of, you know, efficient way because the I don't necessarily like the way that the navigation is set up. But my institution has it, it's secure, it's supported IRB, are okay with it. Everybody that I'm working with in my institution can access it. Theoretically, people at other institutions should be able to access it as well. And so, you know, I think that really sticking with what your institution supports is a good first way to think about that. I do want to say that if you are thinking about long term storage of data, you need to consider a qualitative data repository, especially if you are willing for other researchers to have access to your data for reuse. to Oregon, that's another good reason to use qualitative data analysis software, because actually, all of your data is stored in that platform. That's how it's organized. And so you've got the software package, organizing your data, then you've got the original files, you know, also maybe in OneDrive, or what other whatever other system that you're using, that can keep it all very manageable. That's, you know, and then you know, that there's, there's the There's the password protected things with, you know, sharing files in certain ways that I do think you have to think about. But one nice thing about being in a secure cloud based service, like one drive supported by the institution is you don't have to think about it as much as you used to have to when everything was stored on individual computers, or hard drives, or zip drives and jump drives, and then you had to think about how you were going to password protect each file, and then how you were going to send it in secure emails to your collaborators. So you know, just look into what your your university supports. And I do realize that's a privileged position. If you're not working at an institution that provides something like that, then you do have to kind of think through all of those steps that that we did before we had these services...

Top side-hustles for podcasters, from our friends at Podcast Movement. Best Practice: 1st We’re here to help you, the podcasters. That’s why we’re available via email, phone and video. 2nd Here are some useful tools to help you stay organized. Calendly, a great way to handle guest booking. (Todd uses) Schedule Once, also a good way to book calls. (Mike uses) Reaching your audience: Mailchimp, TinyLetter and other email services. Mike and Todd use Google Groups, but it’s not nearly as robust as other options. Google Docs, the almighty online resource for collaboration, especially good for show notes with multiple hosts. And of course if you’re looking for a team to handle these things, head on over to BlubrryPro.com Blubrry News: Beginning last Monday (March 30), Google Podcasts for iOS is tracking separately in stats at Blubrry. You can find Google Podcasts for iOS under Clients in the Blubrry Stats section of the Podcaster Dashboard. Listening habits have changed a bit this spring thanks to this ‘stupid virus’ as James Cridland calls it Just in case you didn’t know, we never sell or share your stats info with anyone. Announcing a new, exciting product next week. Working towards the next release of PowerPress 8.3, featuring a fancy new UI design. Guest co-host: Dave Clements, Support Analyst, from the Blubrry Support team. He’s the host of Geek This! Intro and background, how’d you get into podcasting, what led you to Blubrry, customer support survivor story, recent projects (PP theme). Support: Accidentally added a season to your show in PowerPress? So did we. Double check your settings for Apple Podcasts in the plugin and if you have added a season or two, you can easily edit them out. But, we’re planning now to fix this in a new version of PowerPress. One-on-one consulting with customers is booked two weeks out. Please be patient and we’ll do our absolute best to assist via email and phone. We do have loads of videos here. You don’t need permission, but you probably need some guidance. And by that, we mean please ask us before you move your website to something other than WordPress. There are multiple requirements before moving, and it is way, way easier to do it properly before than to fix after the fact.
