Principal Investigator:Krishna Venkatasubramanian, PhD Research purpose:The aim of this study is to understand the use of digital technologies by scholars of medieval studies and to see how well these tools work for them, when they fail, and what can be done to improve them. We also plan to see how disability and chronic conditions affect these trends. Protocol: We will be conducting online interviews via videoconference for this study. This study entails a set of interviews, approximately 45-60 minutes long, with individual staff members.They will be conducted remotely via videoconference, e.g., Zoom. Video recordings will be made during all sessions of the study. The recordings will then be transcribed, and the original recording will be deleted once the transcription is verified to be accurate. Benefits: There are no anticipated benefits to the participants other than the study affording ideas for better designs of digital tools and technologies for scholars of medieval studies. Eligibility:Participants for this study should be adults who are active research scholars in one of the various sub-disciplines of medieval studies. In addition, they must: use digital technologies for their research in medieval studies; be willing to use Zoom to participate in the interview, which will be recorded for transcription purposes; and be currently located in the US or Canada (due to restrictions on compensating participants). Researchers with a chronic health condition and/or disability are particularly welcome. Time commitment: 45-60 minutes Mode of interview:All interviews will be conducted remotely via Zoom or other teleconferencing system conducive to the participants. Compensation:You will be compensated $50 in the form of gift card for your participation. This research has been approved by The University of Rhode Island Institutional Review Board. Please let us know if you are interested in participating.
