By taking female singer-songwriters\u00a0 in Ireland as an example of a\u00a0 Community of Practice and employing some principles of Participatory Action Research\u00a0 and #TransformDH I am conducting qualitative interviews with practitioners\u00a0 in order to gather information about this particular community .
