The Pagan Interview Project
Challenges in Paganism Study
INFORMED CONSENT
You are being asked to participate in a study being done by Dr. Chelsea Starr at Eastern New Mexico University designed to explore the challenges that people face due to their practice of neo-paganism. Your responses will be anonymous. There are no risks to your participation. You will be asked about challenges that you face in the social world due to your participation in neo-paganism. The social world includes school, work, and any contact with social service/legal systems.
There are no immediate benefits to you for participating. There is a possible future benefit to the neo-pagan community as the research will increase understanding of the social challenges faced by neo-pagans.
An alternative to a face to face interview would be an email interview. If you would like to do an email interview, or have any questions about the study, please contact:

Your participation is voluntary and you are free to stop the interview at any time without penalty.
You will not be identified in any research report by name, nor will the name of your organization be revealed. You will be referred to only in generic terms, for example “A practicing Wiccan”.
The information you give us will be confidential, and no identifying information will be stored with the interview transcript.
