My name is Francesca and I am a PhD student at the University of Greenwich. I am looking for webcam performers to take part in my PhD research.  I am conducting research about the space that webcam models perform in. More specifically, I am interested in the ways webcam models create their physical space for webcamming, through use of objects, backgrounds. furniture etc. I am also looking at how, if at all, webcam performers are influenced and affected by doing shows in their own homes/spaces.

This is a genuine request and here is a link confirming my research student status: https://www.gre.ac.uk/ach/research/centres/lcrg/research. My supervisors, Dr. Fiddler and Dr. Fanghanel can also confirm my research status and I can provide their email addresses if needed.

This research has been reviewed by the University of Greenwich Research Ethics Committee and was granted full ethical approval: reference number: UREC/19.2.5.17.

I would love to interview you if you are able to spare 30 mins, or as long as you are willing. The interview can take place at a time and in a style that is convenient to you - on the phone, email, skype, zoom audio, etc.

I will treat everything you say to me with strict confidentiality and you will remain completely anonymous throughout. Your participation will be very valuable to my research. You can use an alias throughout the research process and I do not ask for any personal information.

Thank you for reading and please do let me know if you have any questions.
