Hi kids, I have a favor to ask of behalf of a friend. She's working on her Masters in Sociology and she's looking to do some interviews (like, a BUNCH of interviews) to test the plausibility of her thesis. It has to do with internet identity, specifically within fandoms. From her blog:
"I'm mostly interested in how fandom activities create a separate space for the expression of identity and how relationships form from those bonds. It would probably be through PM or email, and there'd be all the proper confidentiality stuff involved. And I wouldn't start doing it till the summer."
If this sounds like you, or like something you can help with go to this awesome livejournal entry and leave a comment for her. Or you can email her at: takemychance AT livejournal DOT com.
Please hit her up, it'll only take a moment and you're not obligated to go through with it if its not up your alley. Please feel free to cross post this to other forms, your personal blog, any blogs you've hacked, etc.
Thanks in advance, you fancy bastards.
Tell her to email me. Ill be happy to do it.
