Looking for assistance with my undergraduate thesis on Bachelorette watch parties

[Maggie01]

Do you love The Bachelorette? Do you host or attend Bachelorette watch parties? I am an undergraduate student at Tufts University performing research for an anthropology thesis on the Bachelorette and its role in solidifying female kinship. I’m looking for Bachelor Nation fans who would be interested in participating in my research during this upcoming season of the Bachelorette.

I am interested in observing some Bachelorette watch parties, and interviewing people individually about their interest in the show. I hope to provide insight into the show that extends beyond disparaging readings, which focus on the show’s negative reputation, and instead examine the role that watch parties play in solidifying female relationships.

All quotations used in the final thesis will be anonymized, and any recordings made of our conversations or watch parties will only be shared between myself and my thesis advisor, and will be permanently deleted upon the conclusion of the study. If you are interested in participating in this project or have any questions, please contact me at bacheloretteanthropology@gmail.com.
