New member/ PhD Survey

Hello! I'm a PhD student studying prog rock and spiritual experience in St Andrews, and very new to this site. Is there any chance anyone could do me a massive favour and let me know if there is an appropriate place for me to advertise and link my survey? It's so important for me to better understand listener experience but I need to get in touch with them first! Thanks so much. Kimberley

Surely most spiritual experiences at St Andrews are golf related? ;)

You probably just need to get to a minimum number of posts before you are allowed to post a link. If it is a problem you could set up you post and add your link as text only and I can post the link in a follow up post.

Hello! My name is Kimberley Anderson and I’m a PhD student in Theology and the Arts at the University of St Andrews. My thesis explores how certain forms of progressive rock might be connected to spiritual or religious experience. To make my project as accurate as possible, I am gathering first-hand accounts of how listeners experience this music, and I would be delighted to hear from you if you have anything to say about this combination of ideas. This month I am running a survey that is open to people of all backgrounds, beliefs and persuasions, as long as they are over 18 years of age and interested in progressive rock. My definition of progressive rock is very flexible, so please do not be put off if you only have experience with a few bands which fit loosely into this category. It starts with some quick, general questions about how you perceive and experience prog rock, and moves on to ask participants to describe, where possible, specific kinds of experience related to progressive rock and spirituality. It can be completed online during via the link below and, all in all, should only take 15-20 minutes of your time. Your answers will be treated confidentially, but there is also the option to leave your email address in case you are willing to keep in touch and perhaps answer any more questions (this would be extremely helpful!). 

There's another forum I'm a member of you may also want to post on
