Interviews

What is this study about?

As part of the GeoResist project, we conduct individual in-depth interviews with people who have participated in protests or other forms of resistance – both in physical and digital spaces. We aim to better understand:

  • why specific places (e.g. streets, squares, online spaces) matter for resistance;
  • how people choose and use space in protest activities;
  • how space shapes these practices;
  • how online and offline experiences are connected.

Your perspective matters — whether you were a participant or an organiser.

What does participation involve?

  • a one-on-one in-depth interview;
  • lasting approximately 1–2 hours;
  • conducted online or in person;
  • focused on your experiences related to protest and space.

The interview is open and conversational — there are no right or wrong answers.

We may ask about:

  • your experience with protests;
  • how locations are chosen;
  • the role of space (physical and digital);
  • the use of the internet and social media;

Is participation safe?

Yes, we take participant safety very seriously:

  • participation is fully voluntary;
  • you can withdraw at any time without giving a reason;
  • your responses will be anonymous;
  • we do not collect data that allows direct identification;
  • recordings are securely stored and used only for research purposes;
  • your statements may be quoted in publications, but always anonymously.

Are there any risks?

The topic of protest and resistance may involve emotionally difficult experiences. Therefore:

  • you can stop the interview at any time;
  • you can skip any question;
  • we provide information about support resources if needed;
  • we also apply strict data protection measures.

Will I receive compensation?

Yes. Each participant will receive: a £40 gift card (Amazon platform)

Who can participate?

We invite people who:

  • are aged 16 or older;
  • have participated in protests or resistance practices;
  • or have relevant experience or knowledge.
