Ahh, money.
Short update: currently working on securing funding via grant proposals for the next round of Map Lemon respondents; this round will be another focused on Queer people to really elaborate on the data that already exists and reaffirm our suspicions.
After that, depending on the results from analysis we may want to look more into nonbinary people (currently researching methods to analyze their data while avoiding binarism, btw!), we may want to look more into ethnicity, sexuality, etc.
I’ve also fantasized about being able to do research on the effect being neurodivergent vs neurotypical would have on these results, especially since Queerness tends to overlap with neurodivergence, but I think the IRB approval on that would be tricky–we’ll see for the future.
Queering Map Lemon
Short status update: Map Lemon version 2 is now collecting responses! For those of you who don’t know about my research project (which I still haven’t uploaded information about to this site…), Map Lemon currently seeks to establish a baseline for linguistic variation in North America by asking participants to give directions on a map and write out a recipe for lemonade (the logic of these will be explained in a longer post) in a Google Form. During our last round of response collection, we noticed interesting patterns amongst trans people- particularly that they were discernible from their cis counterparts. I’ll upload the full paper shortly for all to see. So, we set out to collect more responses from trans+ people. Data analysis is forthcoming!
