calling women 55+ for an interview project

[theladyrose]

Dear almighty f-list:

I have a major interview project for my feminist gerontology class requiring help from the ladies among you who are age 55+. The purpose is to examine your experience as a woman with aging and adjusting to becoming an older adult. How has your life changed over the years, and what is it like now? I want to know about your quality of life: changes in your health, your relationships, your social/economic status, etc. Although the subject matter is understandably personal in nature, your information will be kept confidential and be used strictly for educational purposes. My professor wants us to conduct this interview so that we students learn about how women perceive this transitional period so that we can gain a greater understanding of how to serve the needs of older adults.

If you're interested in participating, please leave a comment and we can discuss matters further over e-mail. If you know someone who might be interested in being a part of this interview, I'd be very grateful if you passed the word on to her. Thank you!

Hey ---I'll be 55 in November so I figure that's close enough, right?

You can email me at ciwalker at verizon dot net.

Glad to help.

I'll be 55 in a couple of weeks, so count me in.

Got it! I'll return it in a few days.

I guess it doesn't count if I just feel over 55 some days, does it? *wink*

Alas, I'm afraid that doesn't count. But the spirit of cooperation is much appreciated :D
