Participants wanted: Gender-based micromessages in research environments
Micromessages are the small, subtle and often unintentional behaviours and actions that occur when people interact in work settings. They can make some people feel marginalised and excluded, or they can create positive atmospheres that enhance feelings of inclusion. We are keen to hear about micromessages that you might have encountered in research settings, specifically those related to gender and gender identity.
Each participant will take part in a confidential, online interview (around 1 hour) with the researcher. The transcripts from the interviews will be fully anonymised and redacted. Participants will receive a £10 electronic Amazon or One4All voucher.
If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact Dr Csilla Pákozdy ([email protected]).
