Title: A plea for research help...
Post by: eholladay on October 20, 2009, 08:14:45 PM
Hello, lovely people-

My name is Emily. I'm a graduate student doing some research on themed environments, living history displays and historical reenacting.  Specifically, I'm interested in the issue of historical accuracy and authenticity at Renaissance Faires (which I realize has been a well-trod and contentious topic on this board!). I would very, very much appreciate it if you would take a minute or two to answer a brief survey; I would love to supplement on-site interviews conducted at King Richard's Faire in Massachusetts with the various perspectives of Ren Faire enthusiasts from across the country. 

If you're interested (have I begged enough? Because I'm certainly not above groveling...) please email me and I'll send the survey to you posthaste.

Thank you in advance!
