So excited to hold my book! You can do so too in November! Leila Khoury's cover art captures the story of a contentious movement becoming something like a civil society in the depths of Syria's war. @cornellupress.bsky.social designed it beautifully. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

Folks, are you using or have you considered using AI for transcription of interviews? I haven't seen much discussion or info re how one protects the data through the many apps/sites/clouds. Like this is from OpenAI's transcribe to text privacy policy:

Less than half of respondents report using AI at all. They use it in a variety of ways, but not, evidently, to actually write out their essays.

I've always wished a volume like this existed. I'm so happy that now it (almost!) does, and honored to be among the contributors. Thank you to Jen Cyr and Sara Goodman for doing this good for qualitative research!
