Hello, Rodney.
Hope you had a great sabbatical and are enjoying your summer. I've got
several other things I want to talk to you about, but I'll send you a
subsequent e-mail on those. Right now I'm in the midst of large e-mailing
as described below.
I am heading a national research project that essentially replicates the
Bogardus Social Distance Survey, but is slightly modified to reflect the
nation's more diverse population. I was hoping you might be interested in
participating.
What this would entail would be the administration in September 2001 of a
brief questionnaire, easily completed in less than five minutes, to between
100-200 students at your institution. These students may be undergraduate
or graduate students, although we would prefer that the greater majority of
them be freshmen or sophomores, and absolutely none of them should be in any
race and ethnic relations class. You should also strive to have your
student respondents at least approximate the national population--for
example, don't administer the questionnaires in black studies or chicano
studies classes, but rather in intro level courses. Once you have the
completed questionnaires, you would send them to me.
Your students' responses would be incorporated within the national sample.
No institutional responses as such will be reported. However, if you would
like that information, we would provide you with an institutional analysis
as a courtesy for being a contributor. We would not do this institutional
analysis unless you request it, and then only for purposes of giving you
that information. We will, however, automatically share with you the full
national study upon its completion.
I hope you will agree to participate in this exciting project. It has been
a quarter century since a national social distance study has been done and
we have much to learn. Because we are on a tight schedule, I would
appreciate hearing from you as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your consideration and have good new academic year.
Best regards,
Vince
