My name is Sigrid and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Sociology Department at the University of California, Berkeley. I am currently conducting interviews with tech workers living and working in the Bay Area as part of my dissertation research. Broadly, the project centers around diversity and narratives of meritocracy within the tech industry.
Interviews typically last an hour and mostly cover work experiences and perceptions of the tech industry. The interview itself can take place at a time and place most convenient to you (most take place in coffee shops). And, as is the case with most sociological research like this, I will never use your name or any identifying information in my dissertation or anywhere else.
Please get in touch with me at sigridluhr@berkeley.edu if you have any questions or are interested in participating.
Thank you!
