Call for Respondents for Doctoral Dissertation (Penn Sociologist)
I am a doctoral student at the Department of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, currently working on my doctoral dissertation. I am seeking respondents to participate in my interview-based study. I am seeking professionals married to/with a partner who also works, with children. If one of you is currently experiencing, or has recently experienced involuntary job loss for at least the past three months, I would be most interested in learning about your experiences. If you agree to participate, which I hope you will, please:
- contact me by emailing me at: aliyarao@sas.upenn.edu,
Find out what's happening in Bryn Mawr-Gladwynewith free, real-time updates from Patch.
- or by calling/texting me at: 267 357 7792 to inform me of your willingness to participate.
- We would then set up a mutually convenient time and place to meet and conduct the interview.
