Hi everyone (with apologies for cross-posting),

This is a friendly reminder and invitation to participate in the survey below about my dissertation study. Your responses may provide invaluable insights into the complex experiences of multilingual scholars and are thus of vital importance to us. Many thanks to those who have already responded!

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or if you prefer to schedule a meeting to discuss the research topic.

Have a nice day and thank you in advance!

Best,
Tinghan

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a PhD candidate in the Teaching and Curriculum Department at the Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development. I am conducting my dissertation study under the direction of Dr. Mary Jane Curry. 

I am seeking the participation of scholars who come from Greater China or have experience conducting research in that area, despite of their nationality and current location. The purpose of this dissertation study is to explore scholars’ choices of topics, methodologies, and theories in their academic research and publishing, as well as the constraints they have encountered. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you may withdraw at any time without penalty. Any information that could identify you will not be included in my writings and presentations about the study, including your name, the name of your institution, and your academic discipline and research area.

Your participation would involve taking part in a survey, which includes 13 multiple-choice or yes/no questions asking about your personal information, including educational and professional background, and nine open-ended questions related to your publishing practices and experiences. It should take approximately 25 minutes to complete this survey. Here are three versions of the survey:

English version: 
https://universityrochester.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9NAqtS2R2O0siBo  
Chinese (simplified) version: 
https://universityrochester.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0uEBJRBTwqUlbRs
Chinese (traditional) version: 
https://universityrochester.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4INkl45xaUTB2AK

At the end of the survey, you will be invited to give your name and email address if you would be willing to participate in the second phase of the study, which involves two individual interviews and the collection of some texts and documents. 

All information that you share in the survey will be kept confidential. You will be given a pseudonym, and no identifying information, as discussed above, will be shared in publications and presentations. Only the co-investigator, Dr. Curry, and I will have access to the data set. 

For more information, please contact me, Xiatinghan Xu, at 001 (424) 355-1275 or email xxu36 at u.rochester.edu <mailto:fhe2 at u.rochester.edu>. If you have questions or concerns about your rights as a participant in this study, you may contact Human Subjects Institutional Review Board specialist, through the Warner School of Education, University of Rochester, 001 (585) 275-3050.

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
Xiatinghan Xu 
Teaching and Curriculum PhD Candidate
Warner School of Education, University of Rochester
