Participants needed for a study investigating technology-facilitated sexual violence

By Jessica
You are invited to participate in a study investigating technology-facilitated sexual violence (e.g. cyberstalking, dissemination of images, online sexual harassment, etc.). Specifically, this project will examine campus community members’ (i.e. students, faculty, and staff) understandings of the phenomenon, and perceptions of the role(s) institutions can/should take in responding to online behaviours, such as technology-facilitated sexual violence.

Shaina McHardy is a PhD student working under the supervisions of Dr. Andrea Quinlan in the Sociology and Legal Studies Department at the University of Waterloo, and will be conducting this study.


What will I be asked to do? Participate in a semi-structured interview that will take approximately 60-90 minutes.

Sample Questions: On average, how often do you watch/read news media? Where do you primarily get your news? On which platform do you typically access news media (e.g. television, internet, etc.)? Do you seek it out or just read/watch it as you come across it? Where would you say you get most of your information regarding law and the legal system?

How do I participate? If you are interested in participating, please email smchardy@uwaterloo.ca

What will I get in return? All participants will be entered into a draw to win 1 of 3 $25 gift cards for Amazon.ca

What if I change my mind? At any point prior to publication, participants may withdraw from the study. Simply contact me at smchardy@uwaterloo.ca. Withdrawal from the study will not impact your eligibility for the gift card draw.

The draw for the gift card will occur at the end of data collection, which is anticipated to be 2 to 3 months after the project commences, and the winner will be notified as soon as possible. This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics Committee.  

If you are interested in participating, please contact Shaina McHardy smchardy@uwaterloo.ca, and she will send you an Information Letter with additional details about what participation will involve. If you have any questions prior to participation, feel free to contact Shaina McHardy.

GSA SPARK 2020

By Jessica
  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
