Greetings!
My name is Devika (she/her and they/them), and I am collecting data for my dissertation seeking to better understand the impact of racism and heterosexism on BIPOC LGBTQ+ survivors’ response to sexual violence, and I invite you to participate!
Participation in the study consists of:

-
A possible short follow-up interview (10-15 minutes)
-
Reviewing interview transcript and providing feedback (optional)
Upon completion of the interview, you will receive a $25 Amazon gift card.

University of North Dakota.
Today, the University of North Dakota rests on the ancestral lands of the Pembina and Red Lake Bands of Ojibwe, and the Dakota Oyate - presently existing as composite parts of the Red Lake, Turtle Mountain, White Earth Bands, and the Dakota Tribes of Minnesota and North Dakota.
We acknowledge the people who resided here for generations and recognize that the spirit of the Ojibwe and Oyate people permeates this land. As a university community, we will continue to build upon our relations with the First Nations of the state of North Dakota - the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Nation, Spirit Lake Nation, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians.
