Effective listening is a skill that requires practice and effort. There are three main practices that can improve listening ability: cultivating silence, slowing down to reflect, and becoming present. Cultivating silence means getting comfortable with silence as it is necessary for listening. Slowing down to reflect means listening to oneself to recognize when to speak and when to listen. Becoming present means deeply listening from the heart to feel connected to others. Daily practice of these techniques, such as spending a minute in silence and taking a breath before responding, can help strengthen listening skills over time.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

with and thing about the specific research problem
or question
Your archive could contain document-based
sources as well as audio and visual-based sources
18. Read other academic work on your specific topic
and find out what research materials they used
and how they collected them
19. Rather than solely relying on researcher-initiated
audio and visual based materials (e.g. interviews
and focus groups), some academics argue that you
should focus on naturally occurring data

• Records non-verbal conduct
• Aids the transcription process
• Participants may be less likely to agree to take part
• Participants may take a long time to get accustomed to

• An additional researcher may have to operate the
camera
25. Recording at a Field Site
(e.g. Ethnographic Work)
• What form of recording is acceptable to the participants?
• What form of recording is feasible in this specific site?
• Focus on:
• The faces, gestures, and bodies of the participants
• Any tools or equipment or objects that are being used
• Any documents being used
28. Describing the Scene
On a simple level, transcript can be a description of the
recorded event
29. Describing the Scene
Ben has been asked to prepare a
cucumber - to peel and de-seed it.
Mary and Tim offer Ben two
different, contrasting ways to prepare
that cucumber
Very little access to how this specific interaction emerged
30. Describing the Scene
Ben has been asked to prepare a cucumber - to peel and de-
seed it. Mary notices the cucumber is frozen. She leans over
the table, picks the cucumber up in one hand, picks up a
knife in the other and then starts to inspect it, turning it over
in her hands. She smiles and she waits for a gap in the talk
between Ben and Tim and then says, with some humour in
her voice “it’s frozen”
Better level of detail, but this can be very difficult to write
out in full
Doesn’t give you a detailed structure of what happened

Other things to consider when you are transcribing videos
• Gaze - the direction of participants gaze and how it shifts
during interactions
• Touch - Self-touching and touching others. Touching and
manipulating objects
• Gestures - actions such as pointing or illustrating
• Posture - orientation of head, shoulders, and lower body
• Spatial Positioning - Where people are in relation to
others
• Other Actions - Including walking

Does Fiona know? Most people would say that Fiona is
displaying a hunch
Is she saying “Don’t hold me accountable for the accuracy of
this information!”
Looking beyond the simple words
42. 1 John So what do you think about bicycles on campus
2 Judy I think they’re terrible
3 John Sure is about a MILLION of ‘em
4 Judy eh heh
1. John invites Judy to talk about a topic
2. Judy talks about the topic
3. John then gives his perspective on the same topic and his
perspective closely fits with Judy’s
Exploring a mundane moment in talk
43. 1 Dr How’s Bobby doing?
2 Mo
Well he’s doing pretty good you know especially in the school. I
explained to the teacher what you told me that he might be sent
to a special class maybe, that I was not sure. And he says you
know I asks his opinion, an’ he says that he was doing pretty
god in the school. Now he thinks he’s not gonna need to be sent
to another school3 Dr He doesn’t think he’s gonna need to be sent?
4 Mo
Yeah that he was catching on a little bit but hu more you know
like I said, that he needs a- you know I was ‘splaining other that
I’m you know that I know for sure that he needs some special
class or something.
5 Dr Wu’ shauna you think his problem is?
6 Mo Speech.
7 Dr Yeah, his main problem is you know, a language problem.
8 Mo Yeah, language
Do caution
44. We follow a structure in most conversations. Thing about a
phone call:
Structural Organisation
• Opening - Say hellos and sometimes work out who is talking
and is it the person you wanted to speak to
• Reason for call - introduce reason for getting in touch
• Discussion - May or may not go on for a long time
• New topic emerges - Again, may or may not happen
• Discussion of new topic
• Close - Say goodbyes.
45. Most of the time we’re used to seeing conversations that
have agreement and acceptance
Refusals and Disagreements
1 A Well, will you help me (out
2 B (I certainly will
1 A It’s really a clear lake, isn’t it?
2 B It’s wonderful
Agreement happens immediately, with no gap in the talk,
and sometimes even overlapping.
46. Sometimes we have to deal with refusals and
disagreements…
Refusals and Disagreements
1 A Wanna come down ’n have a bit a’ lunch with me?
2 B Wul yer real sweet hon, uhh, let…
3 A D’you have sumps else?
1 C And we were wondering if there’s anything we can do to help
2 B
0.7
Well that’s most kind Heatherton…
At the moment no…because we’ve still got the bo:ys at
home
47. Main difference is the inclusion of the following actions:
Refusals and Disagreements
• Delays: gaps before responses, or delays before an answer is
given
• Hesitations: like ‘mm’ ‘erm’ and in-breath and out-breath
• Prefaces: like ‘well’ and ‘uh’, agreement tokens like ‘yeah’
• Mitigations: apologies and appreciations
Why is this important though? Gives information about
how different groups can deal with rejection and
alternative theories
49. Thinking about Documents
• How did you read the document?
• Did you take notes on a separate piece of paper?
• How do your notes relate to or transform the text?
• Was it a photocopy?
• Did you read sections out loud to others?
• Where were you reading this?
• With Friends?
• In the Library?
Think about a time where you have been doing additional
research about a module topic*
*lol
50. Document Analysis isn’t just about the
Document
Need to examine the material culture of where and how
this is happening
• Things
• Technology
• Artefacts
• Built Environment
51. Studies of how documents - and other objects and
technologies - feature in and are used in mundane
interactions can help us throw new light on the
structures of social life.
52. Ideas on the Documents you create
• That you describe how you generated, worked with, and analysed
your materials.
• Checked and re-checked your ideas against materials and searched
for instances that might contradict your claims
• Your main or central analytic points give the reader detailed access
to the materials that led you to make these claims
• That your ideas have been checked against previous work by other
authors in this topic
• That you have, if possible, presented or discussed your findings with
those that you have studied
Different solutions available to you to demonstrate to
others that your argument is convincing. Different ways to
do this include:
