Researching GM
Dear All. I am a researcher at Cardiff University in Wales. My
research is supported by the Economic and Social Research Council and focuses on views on the genetic modification of food and crops. I am trying to gain a spread of views and am trying to use net based discussion groups, with a possible interest in GM, to make contact with participants. This is why I am posting a message to this group. I hope I am not infringing the spirit of the group by doing this. The technique I am using to record the views of participants is known as the ‘Q sort'. This is a self completion exercise and takes between thirty minutes to an hour to go through and can be quite interesting in itself. What I ask participants to do is to sort some cards with various opinions about genetic modification into order. The way you sort the cards will depend on your viewpoint. Of course, you shall also have the opportunity to speak freely about genetic modification. If there are any willing participants out there then please respond via my email address. I should mention that I'm looking for a wide range of participants and you need not be a food scientist or have a ready opinion on GM to help out. The only caveat is that participants need to UK based. Thank you for your time. |

Researching GM
There are not an infinite number of ways people talk about GM, and the point is to reveal the limited number of patternings employed. Not completely true, as it depends on what level of detail you mean to address. At high level you are correct (political, sociological), but at a very detailed level (scientific), I'll wager that each person has his own take on GM, and since we don't have an infinite number of people on the planet yet, all I can say is that in the latter case the range of opinins reaches infinity.
