The Museum of Contemporary Commodities: interviews and reflective conversations with key collaborators
This archive contains files containing data from the ESRC funded doctoral project “Museum of Contemporary Commodities: art and social science to close the trade justice knowledge action gap” used in the postdoctoral research fellowship “Performing with the database: art geography approaches to research on the data, trade, place, values nexus” (refs: 1356060, ES/V012185/1).  
1.	Data Files 
The Interview and conversation data.zip contains transcripts of semi-structured, one-to-one interviews and reflective group conversations conducted with collaborators. These were conducted face-to-face and through online meeting platforms during and/or after key MoCC events staged in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Further information on each file is documented in the Data list.xls
Questions and discussion topics were event specific and focused variously on collaborator experience and understanding of: how the event in question was put together – conceptually, as a collaborative process, as different activities within the event and an overall experience; how the event worked in situ; what collaborators observed and remembered event visitors doing and saying during their event experience; what work the event and its activities did in relation to perceptions and understandings of contemporary commodity cultures both in the wider world and for those participating.
The names of collaborators, organisations, and event visitors have been anonymised in each transcript with the use of a generic titles such as ‘collaborator’ ‘academic’ or ‘visitor’. Other identifying information has also been removed.
