Survey About Online Activism

with 14 comments

I received an e-mail from Nena Sechler Craven asking if I’d post a link to her survey about online feminist activism.

I am posting it, although I will mention that the question as to your gender? Problematic. The options are “Man/Male,” “Woman/Female,” and “Transgender, genderquer or other non-binary.” She acknowledges that this is problematic and suggests that you select what fits you most closely, but of course no one should feel obligated to take this if the question asking “Who you are” is already alienating. Once I got past that, it seemed pretty reasonable.

This survey is not about transgender stuff specifically, although there’s room to talk about it in general.

If you’re reading this blog, you probably care about issues such as gender studies, feminism, womanism, and women’s rights.  I am a graduate student at the University of Delaware, and I’m doing a research study about these issues and how the internet plays a role in people’s beliefs and activism.  I’m looking for people like you to fill out a survey about your experiences online.  Whether you’re a regular visitor of these websites or have just started checking things out, I would really like to hear from you.  Website owners, administrators, and moderators are also welcome!  If you’re interested, please click on the link below to take the survey.  Thanks!
