Hi! I’m Amanda Cullen, a PhD candidate in Informatics at UCI. I'm recruiting interview participants for my dissertation on women Twitch streamers. If you’re a woman who is (or has been) a streamer on Twitch I want to talk to you about your experiences! 1/4
Interviews will be conducted online and will last approximately one hour. Question topics broadly include learning to stream, building community, personal expression, and dealing with barriers. You will be compensated with a $50 Amazon gift card for your time. 2/4
This study is seeking to explain how the work of streaming is different for women, how that work is impacted by experiences of harassment, how women create opportunities for themselves, and to recommend new resources/changes to Twitch platform policy and design. 3/4
If you’re interested, please send me a DM or email me at cullena@uci.edu. For more information, please review the study information sheet here: bit.ly/2HfGqPq. Feel free to contact me with any questions and please share with others!
Thank you!!!! 4/4
Surprise 5/4 tweet! to add that while the language of the study is focused on demonstrating how the work of streaming is different for women, I am also interested in talking to streamers with other marginalized genders so please don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested.
Wow, the response to this has been overwhelming. I want to thank everyone that shared this or sent me a message. I'm still combing through the notifications and messages, but at this time I think I have more participants than I can handle! I'm so grateful to everyone who helped.
