Participate in Research Study! |

Angela Li, Cultural Studies MA student, is conducting a study that examines the time use of undergraduate students at Queen’s. We are currently inviting students living in off-campus and non-nuclear households to participate in this study. Non-nuclear in this case means that you do not live with your parents/immediate family, your child(ren), and/or your significant other.
Participation in this study involves completing a 1-week long time-use survey where you will track how you spend your time, followed by a 30-45 minute interview over Zoom.
If you are interested in participating, please email me at angela.shi@queensu.ca. Please let me know if you require accommodations to complete the survey and/or the interview.
You will be provided with additional information if you express desire to participate, but I am also happy to answer any questions you may have!
