Two Wichita State University assistant professors in the Elliott School of Communication are looking for grandparents and grandchildren of all ages to take part in interviews about grandfamilies (families in which grandparents are the primary caregivers of their grandchild/grandchildren) and communication.

Jessica Bertapelle and Jennifer Tiernan are conducting the study, and are willing to conduct interviews in-person or via phone, depending on each participant’s location and preference.

If you are interested in participating in the study, know someone who is in a grandfamily and may like to participate or have questions/comments, contact Jessica Bertapelle via email at jessica.bertapelle@wichita.edu or call 316-978-6129.
