The student on this project will be part of the The Queer Joy project's exploration of what queer and trans epistemologies about consent and queer joy offer the project to end gender-based violence. This contract is for the first part of the project which will involve engagement in data collection and analysis processes and which may include: helping recruit participants, supporting the process of onboarding participants, assisting with the facilitation of data collection, and analyzing data. The goal of the project is to draw upon queer and trans epistemologies to develop more effective gender-based violence prevention education--and specifically consent education--for all youth.

Students will need to be prepared to:

• Attend meetings about the development of data collection processes and respond to project emails in a timely manner.
• Conduct targeted research assignments to support the methodology of the project and to ensure that they are equipped to participate in data collection.
• Support with participant recruitment through disseminating the calls for participants.
• Work closely with the Principal Investigator (Dr. Wright) and other Research Assistants to facilitate participant recruitment and data collection.
• Analyze data in coordination with research team.

I will provide initial direction and a background on the overarching project so that the student will be clear about what the objectives of the project are. I will be available to meet with the student should there be any challenges during the process of completing the work. I will supervise the student by checking in with them about the progress of the project to make sure they feel the work is on track.
