Are you interested in reading women’s memoirs?
Do you have a community or scholarly interest in women’s narratives of violence and survival?
If you’ve answered yes to both of these questions, please contact Dr. Nancy Taber for more information about a research study titled, Memoir Pedagogy: Gender Narratives of Violence and Survival.
Participation entails reading memoirs, attending 2-3 focus groups in your local area where you will discuss your thoughts in relation to the memoirs, and attending 1 focus group in Hamilton (transportation provided). Expected time commitment, including reading the memoirs, will be approximately 48 hours over the Winter-Spring term.
If you know anyone else who might be interested, please pass this information along to them so they can contact Dr. Taber directly.
