Hey folks,
Got a short 2-week or so project I need to nab someone for.
Requirements are:
Here's the deal: I've got our new course fully lain out, running the gamut of pretty much everything I've covered on here in the past plus some new stuff. Books are done, interview questions are done, and at this point I'm shoring the course up by finding:
At this point I've got about 150 citations for the course. I was aiming for about 200 to 250, but now that I've begun digging I realize the research rabbit hole is a lot deeper than I thought. And I'm loving it: I keep coming across studies I didn't know exist that beautifully support something we teach, or that raises an interesting alternative, or that branches off in a direction I'd never considered or at least hadn't talked about before. Poring over the research is like smoking brain crack.
HOWEVER, I'm behind deadline on this, and there are tons and tons of research to go through. I was hoping to be ready to record in April, but am adding lots of pieces in as I go through the research, so don't want to record until a.) we're done adding in research, and then b.) I've been able to review our interview questions and make sure everything flows with the new topics from research added in so this doesn't sound like some patchwork project. Then we can record.
So, what I need is someone who can comb through the research and look for studies that seem like they MIGHT be relevant to a Girls Chase course (I'd rather false positives I can axe than false negatives I'll never know we're missing). You'll use Google Scholar for this, and I'll also send you a bunch of papers you can comb through the references list at the end of to find more good stuff (most of these papers have 50-100 references of their own, and these reference lists are absolute gold mines of concentrated ingots). Additionally, you'll use tags on various of the research portals to search for, say, all the papers that are tagged with "attraction", for example, and then sift through those and look for relevant studies.
The aim is to hit about 700 citations for the course; I want it to be scientifically as robust as possible (although without turning it into a dry research paper). We have 11 modules with 3-4 hours of video content and 150-200 PowerPoint book pages apiece, plus a number of bonus videos and ebooks; I aim to have at least 40 references per module, and 20 per bonus. We're fleshing this puppy the heck out.
If you're game for this project, shoot me an email at hiring@girlschase.com with a brief bit about your familiarity with Girls Chase / Chase Amante material, plus any familiarity you have with research papers (if you know what P-value is and you're familiar with APA-style citations, you're my dream candidate).

Got a short 2-week or so project I need to nab someone for.
Requirements are:
- Must be pretty familiar with the stuff from this site (and my stuff in particular)
- Must be at least somewhat familiar with combing over academic research
Here's the deal: I've got our new course fully lain out, running the gamut of pretty much everything I've covered on here in the past plus some new stuff. Books are done, interview questions are done, and at this point I'm shoring the course up by finding:
- Research that supports the various claims and statements I make
- Research that refutes a claim or statement, so I can discuss or adjust... depending
- Research that adds an entirely new element / covers something I haven't previously discussed
At this point I've got about 150 citations for the course. I was aiming for about 200 to 250, but now that I've begun digging I realize the research rabbit hole is a lot deeper than I thought. And I'm loving it: I keep coming across studies I didn't know exist that beautifully support something we teach, or that raises an interesting alternative, or that branches off in a direction I'd never considered or at least hadn't talked about before.
