Live in Taiwan? Help me out.

I could use a favour from folks here in Taiwan. I'm currently conducting some research into the political views of Taiwanese youth. An element of this research is a fairly simple, short (ie. 1 double-sided page, 1-2 minute) survey. I haven't got much in the way of funding so I'm hoping some kind individuals will help me with my data collection. What I need are people around Taiwan who have access to youths (18-30). I'll mail you a suitable number of surveys and some stamps for return postage and you can get your friends/students/whomever to fill them out and then return them to me.

It really would be a huge help to me, in that it would increase my data pool, as well as hopefully help to mitigate the current 'Taipei centric' nature of my data.

The survey is in English and Chinese. If you teach English you might even be able to use it in the classroom to bring up some political vocabulary.

If you help me I'll be very grateful, and buy you a coffee should we ever meet. I'll also offer the raw data to those who may have an interest, as well as post results of the research here for all to see. I'm attempting to investigate the political hopes/expectations of Taiwanese youth, and am especially interested in the divergence between these hopes and expectations.

Willing parties please get in touch via email: ryan at ryanwhalen.com with your contact information and we can work out the details.

Thanks.

Looks great. I'll be in touch about working with you.

Hmm... do you think it would help if I cross-posted it on my Chinese blog? I think almost all of your readers are foreigners.

Hey Mark,

Sure, cross-post away. The more people possibly helping the better. While most of my (admittedly small) readership are foreigners, those in Taiwan likely know some Taiwanese people.
