Book project on adult Disney fans

[adriane812]

Hi, Disboards users! I'm a college professor who's working on a book project about adults (18+) who are fans of Disney. I'm hoping to learn more about how people became Disney fans, what they like (and don't like) about Disney, and how people feel about the perception of "Disney Adults" (among other topics).

For this study, I'm conducting 30-minute interviews over Zoom, Facetime, phone, or other video/voice chat programs. If you think you might be interested, you can either message me on this site or email me at brownad@augsburg.edu. If you have questions about the study, you can either respond to this post or message me individually.

In case anyone is wondering:

• I've cleared this post with Corey to make sure that I didn't violate site guidelines. I'm posting it on several Disboards forums, though, so please feel free to move it if I've put it on a forum where it doesn't belong.
• In terms of my own position on the topic: I'm a Disney fan who's been to WDW (many times), DL (several times), and DLP (once).

What is your deadline for participation.?

Great question! I'm not on a strict deadline--I'll be doing interviews over the next couple of months--so if anyone is interested but not available right now, I can check back in when you're more free.

I'm sorry to not DM -- I can't figure out how! In any case, I'm happy to help, if you still need people. I don't have the same emotional investment in Disney as a lot of people, so perhaps my POV will be a bit different. If you can figure out how to DM me, please do! lol

LiDa, you may have private conversations restricted in your profile as I don't see a "Start Conversation" button for you either. Go to your pivacy settings under your profile to check.

Hi, @LiDa ! No worries about not DMing. I'd love to talk to you! I'm definitely interested in hearing from a wide spectrum of folks. If you want, you can just email me at brownad@augsburg.edu.

Thanks for helping, @BrianL !

Thanks. I checked, but I have my settings set as "members only", so not sure what's happening. Thank you, though.

Sounds like an interesting project. I'd be open to talking.

This sounds interesting. I'm open to an interview.
