Interviewees
Commitment
We anticipate that the time commitment for interviewees will be 8 hours over the course of 1-2 months.
– Email exchange: Providing context on the parameters of the specific workshop and “Genomics in Society” more broadly, sharing media consent forms, arranging payment logistics, sending interview questions, and scheduling a phone/video call
– Phone/Video call (~45 min): Discussing the direction of the workshop and sorting out logistics for recording the interview (15 min) and recording an interview about interviewees’ area of expertise via question & answer (30 min)
– First edit check-in: Sharing a first edit of the trailer video and a tentative facilitators’ guide for the workshop, gathering feedback on materials
– Final package preview: Sharing the refined trailer video, facilitators’ guide, and any experiential aids
Topics
Each workshop package will focus on a case study of genomics in forestry, with priority to topics and issues of interest in Indigenous communities.
The tentative topics for workshop packages in Round 1 include:
– Assisted migration and the whitebark pine
– Seedbank development for Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine
– Genomics and the yellow cedar
Logistics
Phone calls, emails, and the occasional video conference.
The “Genomics in Society” team will be in touch with interviewees through email to arrange phone or video conversations. Interviews and other discussions will take place remotely. Workshop packages will be publicly released upon approval by interviewees.
Honorarium
We are able to offer a $250 honorarium to interviewees.
