looking for ex-straightedge people

[dorkelson]

Hi,

I'm a doctoral candidate in sociology at Rutgers University and I'm currently looking for people who were formerly straightedge to take part in one in-depth conversational face-to-face interview with me. Interviews touch upon a variety of topics like your life while sXe, your path out, your life now, your participation in hardcore/punk/other, etc. Anything said is strictly confidential and you will never be referred to by your real name in any write-up or presentation.

I can meet folks who qualify at a time and place that is convenient for them, and, if that happens a bar or a coffee shop, you just might get a free drink on me. I will also say that I conducted about 20 of these about 3 years ago and most respondents told me that they enjoyed the conversation. Im looking to do another 30.

If you qualify and would like to take part and/or if you know people who themselves qualify, shoot me an email and we can set up a time to meet. I’m in Brooklyn. [e-mail]

thanks,

Jason
