This week, we completed three interviews. They were extremely interesting and all very different. Prior to the interviews, I typed up an interview protocol with an introduction, questions, and probes. We messaged our respondents the questions before the interview. \u00a0Our questions are fairly specific to our project. We chose to not ask much about participant background, and hope that what is relevant will come up through our questions about race, class, and gender. We have found that we have an abundance of useful information. \u00a0Our three participants had extremely thought-out and complex answers to our questions. At this point, Kayli and I are a little overwhelmed because they provided so much content that will be relevant to our research, and it will be difficult to decide which quotes to include. \u00a0I had the idea of casually filming our analysis. We are trying to make this film as visually appealing and fluid as possible. We also want to be transparent about our interpretation of the interviews. We have been having such long and fruitful conversations about the project, before and after filming. \u00a0We are going to start filming those conversations so that viewers can see our process. <\/span><\/p>\n

Something interesting that emerged from the interviews is that those that we interviewed, do not necessarily view how they dress, or millennial trends, as a form of resistance. \u00a0This goes against the findings of some of our research on millennial fashion. One of our respondents, a Black male, talked about how millennial \u201cresistance\u201d even feels like a trend to him. \u00a0He thinks that millennials are embracing different styles in the name of resistance, when in reality it has become so trendy, that it is no longer resistance. So far, we have interviewed two Black men and an Asian woman. \u00a0Both men expressed feeling a need to conform, and look a certain way, based on the stereotypes they might encounter as Black men. The woman said that her fashion has become more confined in an effort to be perceived as \u201cserious,\u201d because she is a female entering the workforce. \u00a0It is unsurprising that intersectional identities contribute to how and when millennials are able to resist the norm through fashion. So far, this has been a salient finding. I regret not including sexuality as a factor in our research. I think this could have yielded interesting results. <\/span><\/p>\n

Next week, we have three more interviews scheduled. \u00a0After that, we will probably complete one more and then conclude our research process and begin analysis. \u00a0We have set up an interview with Professor Devgan. Her knowledge will hopefully supplement our literature review. \u00a0We are also experimenting by interviewing a fashionable couple. This would be difficult to do in written sociological research, but I think will be powerful in a film. \u00a0I think we are going to take Professor Greene\u2019s advice, and stick to interviewing our peers. We have enough information to fill the film, and this will narrow our scope. \u00a0The editing process is looming as a difficult endeavor. We both have extremely high hopes for this film, in addition to a great deal of footage. Hopefully we have not bitten off more than we can chew. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
