International students can participate in this research through family interviews.

  • A family interview is a 1-2 hrs of group interview that includes adults and children.

  • Interviews will take place in participants’ homes and will allow participants to tell their own stories, express their opinions, and share their experiences.

  • Interviews will include family members drawing mental maps/taking pictures of their home environment, and positioning themselves and others, to provide a lens into the way student-families produce and experience home space. 

  • This family interview will be followed by an optional 1-1 interview (about 1 hour) with one or two of the adult family members at a time and location (in-person or online) that is convenient for the participants.

  • Each family will receive $100 as a thank you for participating in the interview.
