confidentiality

Hey guys I just wanted to remind everyone that what we discuss in class needs to stay in class. While conducting an interview my interviewee told me that he had heard that his information had been talked about in class and that he had been called racist. Although I don't think anyone called him racist, its clear that my interviews had been talked about outside of class. This really isn't cool. He was hesitant to answer certain questions during the interview and rightfully so. I know who is responsible for this breech in trust but instead of singling anyone out I'd just like to use this opprotunity to remind everyone, and myself, how important the matter of trust is in this entire process. Among all of us and between interviewee and interviewer. What we discuss in the class room needs to stay in the classroom. Thanks

    I agree with you, Griffin, and I am really sorry this happened. I hope the person who is responsible will come to you and apologize--you were put in a very difficult situation, and it was probably equally difficult for the person who you were interviewing.

    So, I would also like to remind everyone--what is being discussed in class is done so in confidence and we should be able to trust each other to keep this information confidential.
