Join a study about people who live in New York and are “on disability”, led by undergraduate thesis student Myriam Joseph-Schilz (msj2155@barnard.edu). I’m looking to center people’s own narratives of their experiences with disability benefits programs, and the decisions they make through, after, and beyond their application processes, in order to highlight a perspective often overlooked in academic research.
Anyone who lives in New York and participates in a disability benefits program is eligible to participate. Interviews will take place either in-person or on Zoom, depending on your preference, and will last about 60-80 minutes. Your participation is entirely voluntary. You will always be free to change your mind, choose not to answer a question, or take a break at any point during the interview.
Your interview will be kept completely confidential; your name and any identifying information will not be shared with anyone else. If you’re interested, or if you have any questions, please fill out this form so study organizers can get in touch.
