    Hi all, I have been asked to share this research study - 

    Have you managed projects for at least two years in a gallery, library, archives, or museum (GLAM)?  I'm conducting a research study about the leadership of project managers in GLAM galleries, libraries, archives, and museums.   I am especially interested to increase the visibility of all genders in the PM and leadership studies fields, which have taken a largely gender-binary approach. 

     

    I'm hoping to conduct at least 10 one-on-one interviews with folks who have served as a PM – or departmental manager whose team does a lot of projects – in a GLAM institution for at least two years. 

    Participants will receive a $25 incentive, either as a gift card (Costco or Amazon) or as a donation to a charity of their choice.

     

    If this sounds intriguing, I hope you might read the study description and the consent form to learn more. You can also review my CVIf you're interested, please fill out this form with your contact information. I plan to select participants on a rolling basis in May, aiming for a sample with a broad range of experiences, genders, and institution types.

     

    Thank you for your kind consideration.

     

    This study was approved by the IRB, protocol FY25-525.
