Hi everyone! My name is Valerie Guempel, and I’m a senior Women’s and Gender Studies student at Saint Louis University. I’m looking for people age 18 and older who identify as asexual or on the asexual spectrum and are willing to be interviewed via email or through a Google Hangouts video chat (depending on your personal preference) about their experience.

I’m conducting a research study focused on exploring the opinions and experiences of individuals who identify on the asexual spectrum. My study aims to help correct a current lack of academic research focused specifically on the asexual spectrum, and raise awareness about the legitimacy of the sexual orientation.

Video chat interviews will last approximately one hour, while individuals who choose to answer the questions via email will have until April 4, 2017. The interview will focus on your experience living with an asexual spectrum identity, and how you believe others who do not identify on the asexual spectrum perceive your identity.

For more information or to participate, please message me at valerieg3.tumblr.com or email [email protected]. For more questions, you can also contact the Saint Louis University Institutional Review Board at 314-977-7744 and reference IRB # 28065. 

throwback to when I got smashed af on shitty Waitrose wine in Carolyn’s apartment on Gower St. whilst playing drinking games with Chloe and Valerie.
