Pilot interview with Emma, 17, White British, middle class, no religion. Women, Risk & AIDS Project, London, 1988. Anonymised version including field notes. (Ref: LJH01)

This interview is part of the Women, Risk and Aids Project (1989-90) archive which was created as part of the Reanimating Data Project (2018-20).Anonymised transcript of first interview with Emma, who would like to work in social work or social policy. She was originally at an all girls' school, and is now at a mixed sixth form. Sex education at Emma's school was typically basic and biological, though her mum works at a sexual health organisation and has filled in the gaps. She is very worried about AIDS in general - so are her female friends, but her male friends seem a bit more relaxed about it. Emma is happily single at the moment and would like five children in the future. She has some interesting conversation on sexual reputation and identity, as well as on feminism and her time at an all girls' school.
