I will immediately caveat that I am breaking the rules of this forum, and I apologize for the infiltration onto this page. However, I am a UK-based student currently writing my dissertation on the manosphere, and I am seeking to interview members of different communities.
I appreciate your time and consideration. If the moderators allow this post, please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] with any questions. I’m happy to share more about my research and send what I have written thus far. If this post is removed, I’d be grateful for any guidance on where else I might be able to reach potential participants.
I fully recognize that my dissertation is being conducted within a mainstream academic institution, which contradicts much of the ethos of this community. That said, my intention is not to moralize or pass judgment. As a young man myself, I am genuinely interested in understanding why an increasing number of my friends find the manosphere compelling, something I do not understand, yet eager to listen
I am looking for 4-5 interviewees who are over the age of 18. Due to ethical regulations at my institution, you would need to sign a consent form, and I am required to handle all data with strict confidentiality. All responses will be anonymized. If you participate, I will provide you with a transcript of your interview to ensure that you feel it accurately represents what was said. Additionally, consent can be withdrawn at any point until April 1st, which is my dissertation deadline.
