Help with NecronomiCon 2015 research project?

Post by Sidereal Wisdom » Sat Aug 01, 2015 5:20 pm

Hello All,

I’m an assistant professor of sociology at the University of New Haven. I’ve also been a fan of HPL since I was a teenager. I’m starting a new study on fandom and wanted to focus on the upcoming convention in Providence. My research topic is broad, but I’m basically looking at the different ways fans experience and interact with their interests.

If you are planning to attend NecronomiCon 2015 in Providence, please considering completing a short survey (about 15 minutes). You can access the survey here:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HWQC2PS

You must be 18 years or older to participate. The survey includes questions about what you like about Lovecraft’s work in general, why you plan to go to the convention, what you hope to do there, and similar topics. Participants will have the option of being entered into a random drawing to receive 1 (of 5) $25.00 Amazon gift cards as a thank you for your help. More information is available on the first page of the survey.

See you in Providence! :cthulhu2:

What a very cool subject of study. I wish I could attend Necronomicon just for the opportunity to participate in your study. Good luck. Please share it with us when you're able.

Last chance!

Iä! NecronomiCon is nearly upon us. Consequently, I will soon be disabling the survey asking about your plans to attend. The survey will close in two days: Tuesday, August 18th is the last day to participate.

Here’s the link one last time:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HWQC2PS

Many thanks to those who have already participated. Also, I’ll be posting another survey opportunity AFTER the convention for those who attended. This one will have a separate drawing, so you could possibly win a gift card twice by participating in both. More info to come.
