The current document provides a detailed overview of the activity and presents the results of the Walking Interviews conducted during the Research Residency at Pianpicollo Selvatico from July 16 to 20, 2022. In these interviews, young researchers were examined using a qualitative approach known as a walking interview, which integrates physical movement with in-depth reflections on their personal, professional, and research experiences. The questions asked during the interview aimed to explore the motivations that led the participants to pursue a career in research, their perception of research work, and the relationship between theory and practice in their research activities. Additionally, specific questions were posed regarding collaboration with other researchers and external actors in the research world, delving into the motivations and importance of such collaborations. Particular emphasis was placed on the participants' perception of nature, with questions aimed at exploring how nature influences their motivation for research. Further insights were gained through questions about personal experiences related to life in rural settings, cultivation of gardens, and relationships with non-human elements. The primary objective was to understand if and how these experiences influence the perception of research and the connection with the surrounding environment. Lastly, a key question was asked about the perspective on interdisciplinary research, yielding responses that provided significant insights into the participants' perception of the importance and practicality of research that transcends disciplinary boundaries. The analysis of the results revealed a rich and multifaceted picture of the perspectives, experiences, and motivations of the participating young researchers, contributing to a deeper understanding of the relationship between research, personal experiences, and the environmental context.
Parte del Deliverable D5. 1 (WP 5 Task 5.2) del progetto BRIDGES, l'attuale documento offre una dettagliata panoramica dell'attività e presenta i risultati delle "Walking Interviews" (interviste in cammino) condotte durante la Residenza di Ricerca di Pianpicollo Selvatico, svoltasi dal 16 al 20 luglio 2022. Nel corso di queste interviste, giovani ricercatori e ricercatrici sono stati intervistati mediante l'impiego di un approccio qualitativo noto come walking interview, che integra il movimento fisico con approfondite riflessioni sulle loro esperienze personali, professionali e di ricerca. Le domande poste durante l'intervista avevano lo scopo di esplorare le motivazioni che hanno spinto gli intervistati a intraprendere la carriera di ricercatori, la loro visione del lavoro di ricerca e la connessione tra teoria e pratica nell'ambito della ricerca. Inoltre, sono state poste domande specifiche riguardo alla collaborazione con altri ricercatori e attori esterni al mondo della ricerca, approfondendo le motivazioni e l'importanza di tali collaborazioni. Particolare enfasi è stata posta sulla percezione della natura da parte degli intervistati, con domande mirate a esplorare come la natura influenzi la loro motivazione alla ricerca. Approfondimenti ulteriori sono stati ottenuti attraverso domande sulle esperienze personali legate alla vita in contesti rurali, alla coltivazione di orti e alle relazioni con gli elementi non umani. L'obiettivo primario era comprendere se e in che modo queste esperienze influenzino la percezione della ricerca e la connessione con l'ambiente circostante. Infine, è stata posta una domanda chiave riguardante la prospettiva sulla ricerca transdisciplinare, ottenendo risposte che hanno fornito spunti significativi sulla percezione degli intervistati riguardo all'importanza e alla praticità della ricerca che supera i confini disciplinari. L'analisi dei risultati ha delineato un quadro ricco e sfaccettato delle prospettive, esperienze e motivazioni dei giovani ricercatori partecipanti, contribuendo così a una comprensione più approfondita della relazione tra ricerca, esperienze personali e contesto ambientale.
