Interview
We
conducted
a
bracketing
interview
on
March
18,
2015
using
Adobe
Connect.
The
interview
was
video
recorded
so
that
participants
could
review
it
at
a
later
date
if
necessary.
Pinto
posed
three
questions
designed
to
elicit
bias
from
the
Ms.
Powers.
Ms.
Powers
did
not
see
the
questions
in
advance
of
the
interview
so
that
her
responses
would
be
spontaneous.
The
questions
were:
Ms.
Powers
responded
to
each
question
and
the
Pinto
took
notes.
Pinto
noted
several
features
in
the
responses
that
revealed
areas
of
bias.
(1) Ms.
Powers
explained
chose
the
topic
of
learning
through
art
and
technology.
She
explained
she
chose
the
topic
because
its
a
big
part
of
her
life,
and
she
is
passionate
about
doing
it
and
contributes
to
her
personal
engagement.
Pinto
observed
that
this
response
reflected
disproportionate
focus
on
the
researcher/subject
rather
than
to
the
phenomenon
more
broadly.
Pinto
suggested
that
Ms.
Powers
make
a
concerted
effort
to
emphasize
a
me
to
we
approach
to
analysis
and
conclusions.
That
is
to
say,
while
autoethnographic
research
is
about
the
individual
(in
the
dual
role
of
researcher
and
subject),
the
research
needs
to
connect
outward
to
other
literature,
AND
to
other
learners.
(2) She
explained
that
she
did
not
have
preconceived
notions,
but
hopes
to
learn
about
herself
and
why
she
does
this
work,
finding
a
pattern,
or
getting
a
greater
understanding
of
her
own
art
and
creativity
and
how
it
relates
to
other
people.
Pinto
noted
that,
like
in
(1),
Ms.
Powers
responses
reflect
an
inward
orientation
(to
the
research-
subject)
rather
than
an
outward
orientation
relating
to
how
the
findings
relate
to
broader
literature
and
to
the
experiences
of
other
learners
and
teachers.
(3) When
asked
what
her
research
will
accomplish
in
the
world,
Ms.
Powers
expressed
her
hope
that
those
who
view/read
her
work
get
a
glimpse
of
what
is
important
to
her,
and
see
the
value
in
interpretive
arts-based
research.
As
with
(1)
and
(2),
Pinto
noted
that
the
response
had
a
strong
inward
focus.
Pinto
strongly
recommends
tying
the
individual
(subjective)
experience
to
broader
literature/research
for
comparison
to
overcome
this
area
of
bias.
This
would
involve:
Making
sure
the
discussion
of
findings
links
explicitly
and
directly
to
theory
and
prior
research
(e.g.,
the
work
of
Roth
on
arts-based
ed)
AND
if
possible
to
other
similar
research.
As
well,
this
could
lead
to
recommendations
for
future
research
that
would
involve
replicating
similar
research
methods
with
other
artists
to
see
how
Ms.
Powers
experiences
differ
from
others.
Ms.
Powers
needs
to
remain
clear
that
this
research
is
her
subjective
experience,
and
be
very
explicit
about
the
applicability
of
this
research
to
other
contexts,
while
also
being
careful
NOT
to
generalize
based
on
a
single
case.
This
will
require
careful
word
and
concept
selection
