> Hello,
>
> I am forwarding on the attached call for male research participants. I am also pasting the call for participants below.
>
> I have not yet participated in this research but have corresponded several times with the researcher and am registered to be a participant myself. I don’t know about the final outcomes of the research but it sounds interesting to me.
> CALL FOR RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS
> My name is Tara Fannon and I'm a third year doctoral student with the Department of Political Science and Sociology at NUI, Galway, Ireland. I live in Brooklyn New York and I’m getting ready to begin my fieldwork in and around NYC and beyond!
>
> My research entitled, Personal Narratives of Gender and Disability: Blind and Visually Impaired Men's Accounts of Embodied Selfhood, qualitatively investigates the relationship between gender, disability and visuality, specifically how visual and textual representations of masculinities and disability shape and are shaped by blind and visually impaired men’s sensory accounts of body and self. In other words, I'm interested in learning what masculinity and disability means to my participants in their everyday lives and, beyond this, what it's like having a visual disability in a time when visual information, image and aesthetic are considered important in our society.
>
> I am currently recruiting males between the ages of 18-75 who are fluent English speakers, permanent residents of the United States currently living in the United States and who identify as visually impaired or blind (from birth or acquired).
>
> Participation in this research will entail one in-depth interview lasting up to an hour and possibly one shorter follow-up interview. Interviews can be conducted face-to-face with participants who live in the NYC area or over the phone if preferred. Interviews with participants who live outside the NYC area will take place only over phone because my travel to locations outside NYC is not possible at this time.
>
> Face-to-face interview locations will be agreed upon by the participant and researcher and will take place in public spaces provided they are accessible, suitably quiet to ensure a good recording, and private enough to ensure participant comfort.
>
> This research is anonymous and confidential.
>
> While I’m unable to offer financial compensation for participation, if in the case of face-to-face interviews, water and snacks will be provided. Beyond this, there are multiple, worthwhile benefits to participating in this research that range from exploring completely new areas to growing important and under-researched areas.
>
> If you’re interested in participating or would just like to know more about my research please email me a completed ‘expression of interest’ form (see attached) to: T.FANNON3 at nuigalway.ie and I will be in touch shortly. Your returning this form doesn’t obligate you to participate in my research.
>
> Finally, please feel free to pass this research call onto family, friends or colleagues that might meet the criteria for my recruitment.

> Hi Dr. Bell,
>
> I wouldn't mind you passing the information along before our interview, in the interest in hopefully creating some momentum. I've attached the original call and the expression of interest form.
>
> As far as our interview, we can leave it until after October 12th. Generally speaking Mondays between 8-1pm and Wednesdays and Fridays between 10-5pm are a sure bet. I'm away on the 16th and I think you may be one hour behind me, just a couple of things to consider.

> Yes, I am comfortable sharing with our wider community. I thought I would wait until after my interview so that I can say to folks “I have participated and it was a good experience” or whatever, but if it is more important to get it out there I can share it now. If so, can you send me another email that has the initial invitation? I think I have it saved but if I can forward directly from you it might be better.
>
> I am out of town October 7-9. Generally, I can be open most days. After October 12 is pretty open for me rest of the month. So, let me know when in that timeframe is good for you and I can double check my calendar.

This sheet will give you a better sense of the questions I might ask, or at least the questions that are guiding my research. I'm, of course, happy to answer any questions or address any concerns you might have after reading the form.
