For those of you not on the "yucks" mailing list, I have sent along

Subject: Re: pagans and such
My name is Elena O'Malley. I am an undergraduate at Harvard University
taking a class called Folklore and Mythology 108. I am writing a paper
for this class on the subject of the differences between the perceptions
of Neo-pagan women and men about their beliefs. This paper will not
be published, and any notes or transcipts having to do with this paper
will be viewed only by myself. If, for some reason, this situation
changes, I will ask your permission to release any data you have
given me. Unless you request otherwise, you will be arbitrarily
assigned a letter of the alphabet (i.e. Informant C) if you or the
information you give me is referred to anywhere in the paper.
You do not have to answer all the questions, but please provide as much
explanation as you can to the questions you do answer. Any information is
helpful.
1. Gender
2. Age
3. What do you call your religion/organization/belief system, and what
is your (official) position within it?
4. How long have you been a part of this religion/organization/belief
system?
5. How did you become involved? (Did a person inform you, did you
read about it, brought up that way, create it yourself?)
6. What were you before?
7. Are you part of a group, or is your practice/beliefs solitary?
If yes, what is the group organization, and how or by whom is
the group led?
8. Are you part of a national/international movement? (Is it
primarily political or religious, or other?)
9. If your religion/belief system/organization is religious, do you
have gender-specific deities? Who or what are they?
10. Do you worship a deity or deities because of its/his/her/their gender?
11. How do you perceive, or do you in fact perceive, gender roles as being
different from your previous religion/belief system/organization or
surrounding society? (Or how are your perceptions different from those
around you?)
12. Do you find yourself assigned or choosing roles in your religion/belief
system/organization based on your gender?
13. Are there any rituals/beliefs/practices that are gender-specific in your
religion/belief system/organization?
14. Do you feel at all persecuted, either within your religion/belief system/
organization because of your gender, or outside your religion/belief
system/organization because of your religion/belief system/organization.
(Also, if relevant, how does your family view your religion/belief system/
organization?)
15. Is there anything (gender-related or otherwise) you think I have not
considered and want to comment on? If so, please feel free.
16. Any questions or confusions? Please contact me if so. I apologize for
the wordiness of some of the questions, but I am not entirely sure of
what the word "pagan" means to different people. If you've gotten
this far, thank you for your time and cooperation.
