Study: Aboriginal, Asian, Black, Mixed, Indian, Arab, Latin, other non-White Women

[Volpina Vance]

This researcher, whom Trina Ricketts from The Naked Truth has vouched for, is looking for self-identified Woman of Colour sex worker participants for her Ph.D project at Carleton. Participants receive a $75 honorarium, and I believe that individual participant involvement will be limited to a single interview. All communication will be anonymous.

If anyone's friend or SP fits the bill, could you please pass this on to her?


Here is the relevant information:

Research Participants Needed
Women of Colour in the indoor sex industry
June 2014 - April 2015

Do you self-identify as a woman? Do you identify as a visible minority? Do you work independent incall or outcall or for an escort agency or in massage parlours? Do you want to share your experience, stories and perspectives as a woman of colour working in the indoor sex industry?

I would like to invite you to participate in a study that is part of my PhD thesis in the Department of Law and Legal Studies at Carleton University under the co-supervision of Professors Diana Young and Lara Karaian.

Interviews will be conducted in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. I will also conduct interviews via Skype. All interviews are confidential. I do not want your name or the names of the agencies that you work for. You will receive a honorarium of $75.00 for your time and knowledge.

To participate in this study please:

I did post on this topic a few days ago. I have agreed to participate in this study, and am posting because the researcher informs me that she needs more participants in order to justify a trip to Vancouver. I do not know this researcher personally.

Hi Angela - I don't believe that Susie is acquainted with the researcher, but Trina is also an advocate for the Vancouver sexwork community, and her work and Susie's have some overlap. I first found out about this study through an email from Trina. Susie will have received the same email.

I completely understand your wish to check.
