Everyday sexism project update

Our aim is to interview people about their experiences and views on sexism to then transcribe them and edit them into a verbatim play that we will perform using puppets. We have begun talking to people and carrying out a few interviews and discussions and we are also contacting societies within university to further this research and to be able to talk to more people.
We are doing this by contacting the societies through Facebook and possibly through email to find out who might interested to get involved and we can then arrange a time to meet to be able to talk to them under appropriate conditions rather than approaching people in the street because we feel this will produce better outcomes.

We are also looking through the everyday sexism book and blog to gather some stories that stand out to us to use if we find that time restraints become an issue and we need to start constructing these is a narrative. I have contacted Laura Bates that is in charge of the project to find out if she would like offer her help and allow us to use the existing stories.

Our group has also decided to contact student services and whether they are able to give us any help in case there are any issues that arise that we need to refer people to their services to able to help the participants.

So far we have contacted:
Laura Bates
Student services
Societies (overall email that can contact individual societies from there)
Individual societies on Facebook
