Phd Research Into British Sikhs (18-30)

[jasjitsingh]

Dear Cyber-Sangat

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

My name is Jasjit Singh, a PhD Researcher from the University of Leeds studying the Transmission of Sikhism among young British Sikhs. My research is investigating:

What understanding British Sikhs in the age range 18-30 have of Sikhism.

What drives young British Sikhs to organise and attend Sikhism related events.

What sources of authority young British Sikhs draw on.

How young British Sikh acquire their knowledge of Sikh tradition, belief and practice.

The research will seek to understand how young British Sikhs (18-30) are learning about Sikhism and will focus on the role of Gurdwaras, Camps/Youth Events and the Internet.

As part of this research I have put together an online survey. I would really appreciate it if those of you who qualify could fill this survey in:

Everyone who qualifies, please fill in the survey! I personally feel it is very important to support such projects, there really is very little academic research on Sikhi so we all have to help in some way. I really appreciate the work you are doing, hope it all goes well with Guru Ji's kirpa.

GurFateh Paaj - thanks mate - you're absolutely right - that's why I quit my well paid job to do this project. E.g. Last year I attended a conference on Religion and Youth - out of over 50 papers on Religion and Youth, only ONE was about Sikhs (i.e. mine). Please fill the survey in if you qualify.

SURVEY URL is: http://www.survey.leeds.ac.uk/sikhs

Thanks a lot,

Jasjit.

P.S. DEAR ADMIN - COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE THIS A STICKY. THANKS A LOT.
