Hello everyone,

This is Joshua Atkinson. I'm an assistant professor in the School of Media & Communication at Bowling Green State University. Some folks here have already met with Clayton Rosati and myself. We've been doing interviews with members of the DetroitYES! community for a few years now. We've been trying Skype as mode for doing interviews. That seems to be working for people. If you would be interested in doing an interview via Skype [[or face to face if that is more convenient), let us know. Essentially, we're asking questions about your role in the forums and in the community, online and off. We're also interested in your views and opinions about the city. More important this time around, we're looking to do interviews with people of color. We've heard from many DetroitYESers, and those folks have been predominately white. We feel that it is vitally important to get input from as many people, and as many perspectives, as possible. So if you're interested, just send along an email to one of us. If you have any questions, I'll be checking the thread and available for responses. Thanks!
