Plan of Action ?








1.

- We aim to interview around 50 people across campus
- Present them with pictures of 9 different people. 
      - 3 will be Students, 3 will be Lecturers/Teaching staff and the last 3 will be those who hold non-teaching positions within the Uni. All of different races, genders and ages.
- We will ask the person we're interviewing which job/position they think each individual holds. 

- After we document their response we will then continue to ask some quick follow up questions to widen our research and also to feature on our final video. 
   
-These include questions like: 
       ''Do you think there are more males in higher academic roles?''
       ''Do you think white lecturers are prefered over those of other races?''
       ''Have you ever experienced any prejudice yourself, from either students or teaching              staff?''
      ''Have you ever faced any sexism or discrimination for something you cannot help? (i.e         Gender, Race, Sexuality etc.''


2.

The second part of the task would be to film people being interviewed by us, and to make it into a short video for our final presentation. 
We would firstly film them trying to match up a picture of one of the 9 people with one of the 3 types of positions within the uni. 
After we've asked them to do this we will then ask them a few follow up questions which will mostly feature within our final video. (as mentioned in point 1.)

We want it to have tones of a Social Experiment.



3.

After we've gained all the info we need, we will analyse the results and put the answers of the 'who's job is who's?' questionnaire into a poster.

- We hope to make a poster of the results we've collected and use them to make a judgement on how people around campus think.

- For example::: 
      -If the results found that over 50% of people interviewed said they thought the 40 yr old bloke was a lecturer instead of a student, or the Hispanic lady was a cleaner instead of a Head of Department then we would illustrate that on the poster. Not necessarily pointing fingers, or perhaps we should(?).

-We could then go around asking people what they thought of the posters and if what they say surprised them? Another thing to pop into the video if there's room? and if time is on our side of course.


4. 

Action 4 would be to write our presentation and put the video together.

  1. This is fantastic, I think to further this, we should try do something with what we find out, send it to the SU or Principle or something, to not just highlight the issue but to try change things.
