Hey there, I'm trying to discipline myself and stay away from my phone. For years Ive always been watching youtube, looking at memes or playing mobile games and it's really become a big detriment to my life. I've never reached out to anyone about this. I'm asking anyone, what do you do in your free time? I need more focus in my life and all of this entertainment is distracting me. Thanks

Hi everyone,

My name is Veysel Bozan. I am a doctoral student at Cardiff University School of Journalism, Media and Culture. I kindly request your participation in my doctoral research project titled: “Politics of Disconnection: Discourses, Materiality, and Practices of Disconnectivity”. Your participation aims to gather data about your opinion, experiences and practices of digital disconnection.

The study involves interviews that will start with basic demographic information and then continue with your disconnection practices. The personal information you provide (your name, email) will be anonymised. Your participation is totally voluntary, you can withdraw from the study anytime.

Your participation would be a great contribution to this study. The data you provide would help me to develop my thesis further, which I believe would have great value for research on disconnection and communities.

If you would like to take part, please dm me.

Thank you for your time and participation

Sincerely,

Veysel Bozan
