📣Research participants wanted! 📣Great opportunity for students (and friends!) who wouldn’t want a £30 voucher for furthering research!? 😃

📢 Please share with your networks and anyone you think might be interested! 📢 I'm looking for participants for my research project on young women's understanding of paid work on and through social media, including phenomena such as the #girlboss #corporatequeen or #lazygirljobs.

Do you identify as a woman and are aged between 18 and 30? Do you use social media? How do you feel about representations of paid work on social media? I am looking for women (including those identifying as non-binary and trans women) from all backgrounds who engage with work-related content on social to discuss their experiences. You do not need to be currently employed to take part in this study. The interview will take approximately one hour and will be conducted online. You will be asked to bring in a meme relating to work – either one you found, or one you created yourself. You will receive a £30 voucher for taking part in the interview. Sign up to show interest by filling out this form: https://surreyfbel.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aY6hOtqQ7BAaLQy For more details, please contact the researcher Nathalie Weidhase at n.weidhase@surrey.ac.uk The project is funded by a British Academy Small Research Grant, and has received ethical approval from the University of Surrey Ethics Committee (Ref. Ethics RM ID: 1298). End of recruitment period: December 2025.

📢 New research shows women face barriers & abuse as political candidates. In our new report, we wanted to dig deep & explore the candidate journey for women, from preparing to stand as a candidate, including interview & vetting processes, to being elected & what happens after 🧵⬇

Here's what they told us' Alongside illustrations including a mobile phone showing a woman candidate receiving online abuse on social media and pop up text messages with misconceptions about women's participation in politics.
