Dear colleagues,

My name is Christian Chan, and I am a doctoral candidate in the Counseling PhD program at The George Washington University. Under the direction of Dr. Sam Steen, I am currently working on my dissertation study entitled The Lived Intersectional Experiences of Privilege and Oppression of Queer Men of Color in Counselor Education Doctoral Programs: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to fulfill the degree requirements for the PhD in Counseling at The George Washington University. The purpose of this study is to understand how queer men of color make sense of their experiences of privilege and oppression in their doctoral programs in Counselor Education and Supervision. This study has the potential to inform the evolving development of intersectionality scholarship; navigating multiple overlapping forms of oppression; advances for the social context of higher education, especially doctoral education; and critical thinking on the application of multiculturalism and social justice domains in the 2016 Standards of the Council for Accreditation on Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).

If you are interested in participating in or learning more about the study after reading the details below, please contact me at cchan530 at gwmail.gwu.edu<mailto:cchan530 at gwmail.gwu.edu>.

To compensate you for your time and effort, you will receive a $40 electronic gift card to one of three vendors of your choice: Starbucks, Amazon, or Target.

I am seeking participants who meet the following inclusion criteria:

(a)  18 years or older

(b)  currently enrolled in a CACREP-accredited doctoral program in Counselor Education and Supervision

(c)  male-identified (cisgender, transgender, non-binary, gender-nonconforming, genderqueer)

(d)  identifies as a member of historically marginalized or minority group on the basis of racial/ethnic identity

(e)  identifies as a member of historically marginalized or minority group on the basis of sexual, affectional, or gender identity

(f)   identifies as having, at least, one experience of privilege and, at least, one experience of oppression in the doctoral program.

If you choose to take part in this study, you will take part in the following activities: (a) completing a demographic questionnaire; (b) three semistructured interviews consisting of 90 minutes; and (c) brief member-checking meetings of no more than 30 minutes each. These semistructured interviews will take place over Skype or in person depending on your preference, convenience, location, and proximity. During the interviews, you will be asked about (a) your life before and up to the doctoral program; (b) your current experiences in the doctoral program; and (c) how you have made meaning of your experiences in the doctoral program. The three semistructured interviews will be audio-recorded and transcribed. Audio recordings will be destroyed after the completion of transcription. Through the member-checking meetings, participants will have the opportunity to review their transcriptions for additions, deletions, or changes before the researcher moves forward with the data analysis process.

While there is minimal risk in this study, you may withdraw from the study at any time without any consequences. Participation or withdrawal will not affect student standing or employment in respective programs. Every effort will be made to make your information confidential with the removal of identifying information, including names and institutional affiliations, in conjunction with the substitution of pseudonyms. Additionally, documents in the study will be individually password-protected and kept in a secure, password-encrypted external drive within a locked location of the researcher’s office.

This study is approved by The George Washington University Institutional Review Board (IRB#051735).

If you have any questions about this study, you may contact the principal investigator Dr. Sam Steen (202-994-2339; slsteen at gwu.edu<mailto:slsteen at gwu.edu>) or the researcher Christian D. Chan (626-378-1339; cchan530 at gwmail.gwu.edu<mailto:cchan530 at gwmail.gwu.edu>).

Please feel free to forward this email message to any colleagues or students that may be eligible to participate or may be interested in the study. Thank you very much for your gracious time and consideration to support this study!

Thank you,
Christian
