Survey campaigns

Over the years, students, graduates and colleagues have participated in the survey campaigns, all organised and directed by UAM Professor Inés Fernández-Ordóñez, sometimes repeatedly. All participants in these campaigns receive training before the surveys to ensure methodological unity and they have all contributed to enriching this corpus. They therefore are as much a part of COSER (and of its successes and limitations) as the informants we interviewed. Starting with a first field trip to the mountains of León the spring of 1988, which served as an experiment, regular campaigns began to take place from the 1989-1990 academic year. Each trip focused on conducting interviews in a geographical area. The size of the area covered is generally proportional to the number of participants in the campaign and its duration. We list the campaigns, the participants and the photographic memories we keep below.
