Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Colleagues,

 

I was contacted by a researcher doing a fascinating study – I only wish my children were old enough so I could participate!  I encourage you to look to see if you meet the criteria, and if so, contact the researcher.  In the interest of full disclosure, I have had no prior contact nor knowledge of the researcher before being contacted about the study.  It does sound like very important work.

Seeking to interview parents who work as therapists, advocates, prevention specialists, educators, researchers and/or rape crisis respondents:

 

If you are the parent of at least one child age ten or older and started doing sexual assault-related work before or while raising children, please consider participating in a qualitative study exploring how parents who work in sexual assault-related fields create a discourse with their own children about sexual assault. The process would consist of a short demographics questionnaire and an interview, conducted in person or over the phone or Skype, lasting between 60 and 90 minutes. Interview questions will be provided in advance along with the Informed Consent form.  

 

The research is being conducted by Karen Taylor, a master's-level student at the Smith College School for Social Work, as the basis for her master's thesis (and to continue afterward, if possible!) The purpose of this project is to learn more about the experience of parents who do this work and to contribute to our understanding of sexual assault prevention.  This study has been approved by the Human Subjects Review Committee of Smith College.

 

If you are interested in participating or would like to know more about the study, please contact Karen Taylor at or 410-938-4586 for more information.

 

Thank you for considering participating, and thank you for the work that you do!

 

-Karen
