Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Invitation to Participate in Research Study on Cohousing Development

[danny 2021boulevard.com (danny]

Hi Dr. Bhatia,

You might not want to talk with me -- I'm at an early stage, still assembling 
our families. I own the land, but there's no development happening yet.

Separately, I live part-time in WindSong, in Langley Township, BC.  It's 
Canada's first cohousing development, and just celebrated its 30th anniversary. 
Among my neighbors there are several of the founders as well as two who consult 
with would-be cohousers and developing projects in Canada.

Would you like me to forward your message to them?

-  Danny

Subject: [C-L]_ Invitation to Participate in Research Study on Cohousing 
Development

Dear friends,

My name is Monica Bhatia and I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at 
Washington State University. I am conducting a research study examining the 
development of emerging cohousing communities.

The purpose of this study is: to better understand the resources individuals 
and groups draw upon when developing cohousing communities, as well as the 
challenges they encounter in the process. I am inviting individuals with 
experience in cohousing development to participate in an interview about their 
perspectives and experiences.

Who can participate: Adults (18+) who have helped plan or develop a cohousing 
community, including founders, forming group members, and professionals such as 
developers, architects, and consultants.

Participation would involve: a one-hour interview conducted via Zoom or phone 
(based on your preference). With your permission, the interview would be audio 
recorded to ensure accuracy. Participation is entirely voluntary. You may 
decline to answer any question and may withdraw from the study at any time. If 
conditions allow, and with your consent, participation may also involve being 
observed in a private or public setting, observations in a private setting will 
only take place with your permission

Information you provide will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by 
law. Identifying information will be removed from transcripts, and pseudonyms 
will be used in any publications or presentations resulting from the study.

If you are interested in participating: please use this link

  to schedule an interview lasting approximately one hour with me. If you would 
like to participate but do not see a time that works for you, please email me 
and I would be happy to find an alternate time. I would be happy to provide 
additional details and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for considering this request,
