[blparent] Small Group Discussions with Blind Mothersat NationalConvention

[Michael Baldwin]

Okay, just wanted to check, because I know it is common to say mothers when
something can include fathers or the primary care giver as well. It is one
of those societal things we as a people need to get over.
Was not intending to start a problem with the question, just wanting
clarification.

Hi, Michael,

Yes, you are correct. Of course fathers with disabilities also have
important stories to tell, but this research project focuses specifically on
mothers with disabilities.

Warm regards.
Angela

So, just to clarify, this is JUST for blind mothers, not blind fathers?

Hi, all,

 

For those of you I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, my name is
Angela Frederick. I am a sociology professor at Rhodes College in Memphis,
Tennessee. I’m also a blind mother.

 

I’m writing to let you know that I’m starting a new research project on the
experiences of mothers with disabilities. As part of this project I will be
conducting five small group discussions with blind mothers at national
convention in Orlando. 

 

The small group discussions will last from 1 and ½ to 2 hours, and I’m
hoping to have 6 or 7 moms in each group. 

 

If you are a mother who is blind and who is currently caring for at least
one child under the age of eighteen, you are eligible to participate.

 

Here are the times:

 

Monday, July 1 (Seminar Day): 10:00 a.m. and another at 3:00 p.m.

Tuesday, July 2 (Registration and Resolutions Day): 1:00 p.m. and another at
3:00 p.m.

Thursday, July 4: 7:00 p.m.

 

If you’d like to participate in one of these discussions, please e-mail me
off list at Fredericka at Rhodes.edu and let me know which session you’d
like to attend. 

 

Please feel free to forward this announcement to other blind mothers you
think might be interested. 

 

Thanks so much, and I look forward to seeing you at convention.

 

Best wishes,

Angela Frederick
