hey flamers!
it's been a bit quiet in here recently... i hope that everyone's doing well and flaming brightly?
i was recently contacted by a research professor at San Fran State U. she's doing some cool-sounding research into body image issues and men of different sexual preferences. at the moment, she's hunting bi boys for participation, so i told her that i'd pass along her info on tribe. below is her description of the study and what she's looking for. in a separate message she told me that although she would prefer face to face, it might not be strictly necessary. there's also a possibility of doing a group thing. i'm supposed to talk to her in about a week; if it goes really weirdly, i'll let y'all know :-)

I am a professor at SFSU and I am conducting a research project, the only
one of its kind ever, in which I am studying body image, media, and
self-conception. Clearly we live in a body-conscious culture that is
saturated with media images of ³ideal² bodies. What makes this research
unique is that I am the only researcher who is comparing how gay, bisexual,
and heterosexual men think and feel about their bodies in this media world.
I am hoping you will be able to attend a group discussion of this topic with
other bisexual men. I assure you that any and all information that you share
will be kept confidential, and that your identity will be protected. What
you get back is a chance to have your opinions and experiences included in
manuscript that will be submitted for publication in a scholarly journal.
You will also be invited to read the manuscript and offer feedback if you
wish to do so prior to publication.
We will meet at SFSU. If you¹d like to participate, can you please respond
to these few questions? Of course, if you have any questions that you want
to ask before you respond, that¹s fine too.
