seeking research participants

[VedaSloan 119179]

Hey everyone. My good friend Tuulia Law is conducting research for her PhD. The call for participants is copied below. If you're a dancer who's worked at least twice per week for at least a year, please please consider participating.

 

Seeking Research Participants

 

 

Are you a woman with experience working regularly as an exotic dancer (at least twice per week for at least one year) in strip clubs in Ottawa or/and Toronto, as of the year 2000? Are you interested in discussing your experience at work, and in particular with management (including managers, DJs, owners and others) in a study that will help people understand how the exotic dance industry works?

Would you be able to take part in a 2-3 hour interview?

 

Your anonymity is assured and a $100 honorarium is offered.

 

The research will:

Shed light on the work of people who organize, supervise, manage, or coordinate the work of erotic dancers, what they do, and their relationships with dancers.

Explore the relationships between managers, dancers, and the other people involved in organizing, supervising, managing, or coordinating the work of dancers (for example bouncers, DJs, drivers, agents, etc).

Examine myths surrounding the exotic dance industry and the sex industry.

Identify how laws and policies influence your work.

 

Research conducted by: Tuulia Law, University of Ottawa
