Good afternoon,

My name is Urmi Parekh. I am a PhD Candidate in the Composition and Cultural Rhetoric program at Syracuse University’s Department of Writing Studies, Rhetoric, and Composition. I am interested in understanding how instructors navigate the writing and rhetoric classroom which functions as an in-between space where bodies with different language capacities and identities come together to learn and make meaning. 

I want to invite you to be an interlocutor in my research study, titled “શિક્ષણશાસ્ત્ર પર ધ્યાન: A Meditation on Teaching Practices,” by taking a few moments to complete this online survey (approximately 15 minutes). You will have the option to submit your responses anonymously. The survey link will be live for three weeks (07/16) from today’s date (06/15) and you may submit your responses at any time within this time frame.

The informed consent form appears on the opening page of the survey. I have also attached a PDF copy of the consent form to this email so you can download and save it for your records.

If you are full-time faculty, you will have the option to indicate your interest to participate in an in-depth interview (approximately 45 to 60 minutes) via Zoom. Each interview participant will receive a $15 gift card from Amazon in appreciation of your time and energy. If you indicate interest, I will reach out to you via email to share another consent form and schedule a time for the interview. 

Here is a link to the survey. If this doesn’t work, please copy and paste the following link into your browser: https://qualtricsxm828hmxrmt.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dds4ClBGC9JlYG2. 

Thank you for engaging with me and considering participation in my research study. Kindly reach out to me if you have any questions via email at upa...@syr.edu or via phone at 857.452.4501. 

Warm regards,
