Call for Participants: Academics with Multiple Sclerosis

Are you a Canadian academic with MS?

A research study is currently underway investigating how Canadian academics with multiple sclerosis (MS) negotiate the workplace. A goal of the study is to increase understanding of workers' experiences and employment-related decisions. Interviews are being conducted with three groups of academics who have MS: (1) those who hold full-time academic positions; (2) those who hold part-time and contractually-limited academic positions; and (3) retired faculty members. Interested in participating in a phone interview? Want more information about the study? Contact Valorie Crooks at crooks@sfu.ca or by phone at 778-782-3507.
