Doing this survey electronically leaves out the entire discussion of methods and ethics. With all research participants, but particularly with marginalized and hard to reach groups, the discussion about methodology should include thinking about reciprocity particularly if the approach is not participatory. I'm not talking about money, but human contact. A cup of coffee, a break between classes. Running an errand for someone. The potential participants are already overcoming challenges to their lives, why should they talk with you? How about going to some gatherings and putting a human face and some warmth to the research.

I work as a PhD researcher at the University of Sunderland with Professor Alan Roulstone. My research is in the field of disabled students and new technologies at higher education. This is the comparison about the provisions and the support for disabled students connected with new technologies around Polish and British HE. And I am writing to ask for support. I struggle to get in touch with students to ask them to join the project - to fill in the questionnaire and then meet for the interview. The reason of the fact is not that the research are not important or students not happy to take part in. I struggle because it is really difficult to contact students to invite them to the project. Disability Support Teams at the Universities I posted the research info to are happy to help but they are very busy and not always engaged in the process enough. So I decided to ask for support at the mailing list, maybe you have any other ideas how to advertise the research how to contact students. That is my first post in here so maybe you know any other mailing list especially for students where I could sent the invitation for the project. Very best wishes to all Kasia :) Katarzyna Opowicz-Gorowska PhD research student School of Health, Natural and Social Science University of Sunderland Priestman Building Green Terrace Sunderland SR1 3PZ [log in to unmask] TEL: +44 (0) 191 515 58322 ________________End of message______________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
