I am a political sociologist at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. This past year I conducted 13 focus groups across the country about how Jewish Zionist social justice activists navigate antisemitism and antizionism. This included three focus groups exclusively with students that were hosted at university Hillels.

I am planning one or two more focus groups, this time virtual (via Zoom), to be held sometime June 15 to 18 (day/time scheduled based on participants’ availability).

I’m looking for student participants who are progressive / involved with social justice, Zionist, and Jewish. You can be an undergraduate or graduate student and it is also okay if you just graduated this spring.

The focus group will be a 90-minute facilitated conversation of university students talking about their experiences with and navigation of antisemitism and antizionism. The focus group will be recorded so that it can be transcribed and analyzed, but the recording will only be shared with the research team. Students’ identities will be kept confidential. Each participant will receive a $20 digital gift card in acknowledgment of their time and participation.

I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have or provide you with more information.

Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Ezra
