> My name is Rachel Lipman and I am a third year undergraduate in
> Sociology at Newcastle University. My research project is about online
> interaction and whether it benefits people with disabilities in
> relation to forming and maintaining relationships. As well as exploring
> peoples’ experiences of online interaction, my research will also look
> at people’s perceptions of how face-to-face interactions are shaped by
> their disabilities. There has been quite a lot of research in sociology
> on social life and relationships online. However, most of this research
> has focused only on able-bodied people. I’m interested in extending
> this research to look at the experiences of people with disabilities.
> My research is informed by current academic work in disability studies
> and inspired by the experiences of growing up with my brother who was
> born with several physical disfigurements such as a shorter right leg
> and missing digits on his right hand and toes on his right foot. Not
> only have I been witness to his struggle through operations for many
> years which resulted in him missing some years of school, but I have
> also witnessed how his disability affects his social life on a day to
> day basis. He has relied heavily on the internet and interactive sites
> which enable him to meet others and form relationships, including his
> present girlfriend.
> My methods for doing this research consist of both face-to-face and
> online interviews. Online interviews will be conducted by email in
> which participants will respond to a short list of open-ended questions
> which I will send by email.
> If you would like to take part in this research please email me at
> [log in to unmask] stating that you would like to
> participate and I will then send you more information and a consent
> form to confirm your participation.
> Thanks,
