Survey at Last!

After weeks of toil, I've finally put together a survey that will ask teenagers, girls and boys alike, about their experiences during the candlelit protests. Among others, I will ask the following

*What led them to participate in the protests, and how do they assess their actions one year on?

*How have they used off and online resources to reach out to their peers and a broader audience?

*How different have they become as political actors?

I've also teamed up with some of the best people in the field - the sociologists at Korea University, who have already done extensive research into the subject of youth and politics. While their focus hasn't been on gender, they've recently realized they need to look more into the aspect and were excited to find me working on essentially the same subject!

As of this morning, the survey's delivered to a carefully selected group of some 100 teenagers - more will follow. I can't wait for the results - which will come by early next week!
