Session: Tuesday 8th July PM (14.15 - 15.30)
Title: Possibilities of Paradata: Technologies and Social Practices: Poverty Surveys 60 Years On
Convenor:
Professor Rosalind Edwards (University of Southampton)
Abstract Details
This session examines paradata as a produce of the technology, and social and professional mores of the time. It explores the nature of paradata from Townsend’s influential 1967-68 Poverty in the UK survey, and that from the 2012 UK Poverty and Social Exclusion survey. Presenters will consider the notes written by fieldworkers in the margins of the paper-based 1967-8 survey booklets, and quantitative and qualitative analyses of computer-recorded interview behaviour from the 2012 survey. What lessons for future paradata capture can be drawn from this historical comparison?
