Americans Abroad Study

2009-07-21T10:46:00.000-07:00

Hi,

My name is Dr. Judith Freidenberg and I am an Argentine-American anthropologist currently researching the subject of U.S. expats in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Beijing (China) and Tokyo (Japan). I am writing to you in search of volunteers to participate in my research, which aims to understand the modern phenomena of the expatriate. If you are willing to participate please e- mail me at jfreiden@anth.umd.edu (jfreiden [at] anth.umd.edu) and I will send you a set of questions.
The information you provide will remain confidential (I have the support of my university, the University of Maryland, to conduct the study and will provide a signed consent form to confirm confidentiality).
Naturally, since there are many expats, your collaboration in sending this announcement to your listserves will be greatly appreciated.

Please write and thanks in advance for your collaboration!

Thanks so much for your collaboration!

I attach (1) the interview questions and (2) the consent form.

(1) Your views and experiences are central to this study so feel free to take as much space as you want in answering the questions.

Please send your questions to me at jfreiden@anth.umd.edu)

(2) The consent form protects your confidentiality. Please scan your signature and send the completed form to me by email (jfreiden@anth.umd.edu) or fax (301 314-8305, directed to my attention).

Feel free to send this interview to other U.S. expats residing in Buenos Aires, Beijing or Tokyo that you might know.

I will keep you posted on the results of the study.
