From Teams quizzes to Zoom graduations, we have all become very familiar with video meeting technologies over the past couple of years. By necessity, lots of faceto-face activity has been transferred onto screens. These newfound skills offer interesting possibilities for geographical fieldwork.
As David Holmes notes in this issue’s Geographical Skills (see page 27), in the past if you were going to go out and interview people for your NEA you would have met them face to face, which constrains your geographical reach. A Zoom interview has several advantages. Busy interviewees may be more likely to give you 15 minutes on Zoom than arrange a face-to-face meeting. There are potential safety advantages too.
