> My name is Sajja Koirala, and I am a PhD student studying Audio Description at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I am researching how Audio Description can be better used to support blind people’s visit to national parks, especially when they are in the preparation stage of the visit. As a part of my research, I am interested in conducting a field study with a small group of blind and low vision people at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park located in Richman on Saturday, January 27 from 11 AM to about 1 PM. I was wondering if your organization would like to collaborate with me? I am looking for three to five blind and low vision individuals. Participating in my research involves completing a brief demographic questionnaire before the visit, listening to the audio described brochure of the park before the visit, visiting the park, and participating in a focus group after the visit. I will provide $50 to each research participant for their time and effort. Can you please let me know if your organization would like to help me with my research?
