This document summarizes a presentation on transplanting practices from hacker culture and disability activism into qualitative research in education. The presentation models a "radically transparent research" approach through a live-edited document. Key aspects covered include: collecting interview data and licensing it openly; addressing IRB requirements; analyzing and disseminating findings through the live document; and discussing motivations for transparent research practices, including clarity, freedom, and building community.

10. Step 0: IRB

11. Did you know?
1) Writing this into 'Procedure' instead of
'Data management/confidentiality' solves
a lot of problems.
2) Having participants consent to public
performance is pretty normal.
3) Research using existing public datasets
is exempt from IRB.
