Contemporary and Competing Vistas 7 Appendices Contemporary and Competing Vistas 8 Appendices 9.2. Research Ethics Information submitted to Durham University’s Department of Archaeology Research Ethics Committee [26 th April 2010]. 9.2.1. Statement of Materials and project background: This project aims to explore the diversity of contemporary perceptions of landscapes at Wearmouth and Jarrow. A snap-shot into the ways that the public, local stakeholders and the Wearmouth-Jarrow partnership perceive, use and experience hinterlands around the monasteries of St Peter and St Paul will be obtained through focus groups sessions, interviews, drawing tasks and photographic elicitation. Qualitative focus group and interview transcripts, GPS references and landscape photographs and drawings will be gathered through public engagement. In addition, a desk-based investigation will also be conducted in order to provide context to participant data. This study is the focus of a one year research masters which is funded by English Heritage. It is also a facet of the ‘One Monastery in Two Places’ project which is co-ordinated by Dr. Sam Turner and Dr. Sarah Semple and from the Universities of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and Durham. The OMTP landscape analysis coincides with the Wearmouth-Jarrow bid for the twin monasteries of Jarrow and Wearmouth to obtain UNESCO World Heritage Status in 2011. It is intended that the results of this project will be published as an element of the OMTP landscape study and as an article in an applicable journal. 9.2.3. Methods: In this project interview, focus groups, drawing and photographic elicitation methods will be used to explore the diversity of public perceptions of Jarrow and Wearmouth’s landscapes. These methods are discussed below. In addition, steps to ensure the ethical treatment of participants throughout the data collection and dissemination periods are also outlined. Contemporary and Competing Vistas 9 Appendices Figure 9.1. A summary of participant groups and methods used to collect data. 9.2.4. Estimated number of participant Participant groups will be limited to 4 - 6 individuals. The focus groups will be kept small due to the complexity of synchronising the GPS readings to photographs in the photographic elicitation task. Groups less than 4 will not be used because this could reduce the group dynamics of the subsequent discussion (c.f. Bedford et al 2001: 121). The number of participants and focus group sessions is partially reliant upon the success of the recruitment strategies. In order to ensure that sufficient information can be colle cted, and that there is enough time to transcribe and interpret the data, a maximum of 12 focus group sessions will be arranged. Six sessions will take place in Jarrow and six focus group discussions will take place in Wearmouth . The maximum number of part icipants required for focus group sessions will be 72 individuals : 6 (max. size of focus group) x 12 (max. no. of focus groups) = 72 Contemporary and Competing Vistas 10 Appendices The minimum number of focus group sessions will be set at eight (four at Jarrow, and four at Wearmouth). Any fewer sessions will restrict our insight into the diversity of contemporary perceptions of the landscapes. Therefore, a minimum number of participants required for focus group sessions will be 32 individuals: 4 (min. size of focus group) x 8 (min. no. of focus groups) = 32 A maximum of 15 one-to-one interviews will take place in order to gain a good sample which can be appropriately analyzed. A minimum number of interviews will be set at 8 to ensure enough data can be gathered. To conclude, a maximum of 87 participants and a minimum of 40 participants will be required for this study. 9.2.5. Participant recruitment Semi-random sampling techniques will be used to recruit participants who will be contacted through gate-keepers and subsequent snow-balling strategies (c.f.

    Programme of events 1988 - 2019 Welcome to the 31st Jarrow Festival Since its revival by Jarrow Councillors in 1988, the Jarrow Festival has gone on from strength to strength celebrating art, culture, education, sport and leisure activities and I know that this year's festival will not disappoint. We remain a strong, vibrant and close community, which is why we believe it is important that we continue to celebrate the Jarrow Festival every year and we hope that everyone will come along and support the many events.
