Dear worldwide Pirates,<br>
<br>
my name is Monique and I am studying 'Global Studies' at the
University Gothenburg. Currently, I am writing my MA-Thesis about
the <i>global perspective</i>(s) of the Pirate Parties and their <i>notion(s)
on democracy</i>.<br>
<br>
I am conducting an inductive qualitative research composed of
interviews of Pirate Party members from different countries. <br>
That is also the reason why I am writing you: <u>I am looking for
people that want to add their perception/opinions on those issues
to my research.</u> I will be in Prague from the 13th-15th April
(and one day before and after) and I hope to be able to interview as
many people as possible, in order to accomplish a coherent,
thorough, and diverse picture as possible. (The interviews will last
approx. 45min-1h and can be conducted either (perferably) in a focus
group (circa 5 ppl) or individually. Anonymity is assured of wished
for.)<br>
<br>
After finishing my thesis, I hope to share my result with interested
bodies of the PPs/PPI, so that everyone gets something out of the
participation (you get the info and I hopefully my degree). I
attached a pdf-document, where you can find a detailed describtion
of my research, the potential bilateral involvement, and some
information (+contact details) about me, so you can make yourself a
picture about all of it, so you can easily say 'yes, I'd love to
take part'.<br>
<br>
So if you want to take part, <i>please write me a mail</i> asap, so
I can estimate the amount of participants and try to create a little
plan (who, what, when (so that you can also take part in the actual
conference or the parts you want to take part in), how etc.). But, I
will also be in Prague and if you decide spontaneously that you want
to participate, come and talk to me.<br>
<br>
Like I have said above, it would be great, if there are a lot of
participants from different PPs, so that the research (and in the
end the information that you can use for yourselves) become as
valid, diverse and interesting as possible.<br>
Hence, please write me a mail and participate....Great!<br>
<br>
I am looking forward to see you all in Prague!<br>
Have great holidays and see you next week<br>
Greetings from the Wendland<br>
Monique<br>
