[nfb-talk] Research study on blind people's experiences with race

[tribble]

It seems to me I participated in something like this a couple of years 
ago -- I wonder if this is part of the same study.  I spoke on the phone for 
about an hour with a Ph.D student who asked me a bunch of questions. He 
asked me what race I was and I said caucasian, to which he responded by 
asking why I said that. I felt like saying because it was true -- why else 
would I give a response. I wonder if I sound nonwhite.  I don't remember all 
the questions he asked, but it was clear I was one of the first persons 
interviewed as he didn't have much understanding about blindness (he also 
said he was sighted).
I'd be interested in reading the results of the study when it's completed.

We are conducting a study regarding blind people's experiences with
race, such as how you define race and how you learned about race as a
child. If you are interested in talking about your perspectives
during a telephone interview that will last an hour or less, and you
have been totally blind since birth or infancy, please send an email
to Katy at <mailto:kchase at gmail.com>kchase at gmail.com, or call (510)
299-9600. You must reside in the United States and be at least 18
years old. All responses will be kept confidential. Thank you for
sharing your experiences.
