Hello colleagues!
My name is Jewls Griesmeyer-Krentz. I am a doctoral candidate in Adult and Higher Education at Oregon State University. I ask for your assistance in recruiting for my doctoral study (Advisor: Dr. Tenisha Tevis; Oregon State University IRB HE-2023-767).
My study uses DisCrit as a critical framework to explore how international and immigrant college students who use dis/ability services experience dis/ability as an intersectional identity. The project uses a narrative-photovoice methodology to deepen our understanding of these students’ dis/ability identity development and its intersection with their cultural and other identities. Intersectional analysis will focus on how dis/ability services offices either help or hinder positive dis/ability identity development. In doing so, it will yield direct implications for the field’s policies and practices. In addition, the research will explore the broad institutional and societal factors that can empower and/or disempower these students, which will inform social change on a broad, community scale. Find more details on the Study Flyerhttps://tinyurl.com/study-foreign-born-swd or encourage eligible students to visit the Participant Interest Surveyhttps://tinyurl.com/study-foreign-born-disabled-swd to sign up!
Feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns about this study. I can be reached at griesmej@oregonstate.edumailto:griesmej@oregonstate.edu or 503.752.2027.
Thank you for your assistance!

Hello,
My name is Jewls Griesmeyer Krentz. I am a doctoral candidate in Adult and Higher Education at Oregon State University. My dissertation research focuses on the lived experiences of foreign-born college students who use disability services. The results of the study will promote positive disability identity, improve disability services, and inform policy changes.
I am seeking international or immigrant students who are using disability services and have been in the U.S. for fewer than ten years. I am particularly interested in hearing from students who were not born in Europe, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. Does that sound like you? If so, you can earn $60, have some fun capturing photos of your daily life, and bring important knowledge about serving students.
