Great suggestion - thank you!Hi @JordonOzero
To grab the attention of your target audience, it might be worthwhile changing your headline, eg
Canadian Pilgrims - my research needs you!
Hi. I live in Kitchener, Ontario and completed a Camino in 2015 and my second in October 2022. I would be interested in your research if you still need people. David JoudreyHello Camino Community
I am a graduate researcher working on my thesis and looking for three more pilgrims to be part of my research. My thesis focuses on the catalysts of the personal transformation of secularly motivated pilgrims. This research aims to provide substantive information to those seeking personal transformation or those seeking to facilitate transformation in others in a non-Camino setting.
I hope to connect with Canadian pilgrims (apologies to the rest of the world, but I had to manage the scope of my research!) who walked the Camino with secular motivation (any non-religious calling or motivation) and experienced personal transformation. The transformation itself need not be life-altering because it is the catalysts of the change that are being researched rather than the change itself.
If this describes you and you would like to be part of this research, please send me a private message through this forum. I will send you more detailed information and we can set up a mutually agreeable time for a virtual interview.
I appreciate your consideration and wish you all a very healthy and happy 2023!
Warm regards,

I tick some of the boxes (Canadian, experienced some level of transformation, non-secular motivation) but did not walk the whole thing and also have limited time to participate. With those reservations, if you are interested, let me know by way of reply.Hello Camino Community

I would be reluctant to provide information. There is no assurance that information is for what is claimed.***UPDATE***
With gratitude and thanks, I have had a great response to this post. I am just in the process of ensuring my first volunteers and I are all on the same page. Assuming this is the case, I won’t be able to take on any more participants. I see more willing volunteers so if anything changes, I will be sure to contact those people soon. Thank you all for your interest and willingness. Thank you so much, this is a wonderful community! Jordon.

Hi. Healthy scepticism is never a bad thing. That said, everyone taking part in my research is given contact information for my university’s ethical department to verify my thesis project. As a side note to this, as mentioned in the update section, I have received enough participants and am not looking for anymore at this time.I would be reluctant to provide information. There is no assurance that information is for what is claimed.
Speaking as an academic employed in Canada who supervises research with human subjects, anyone completing this work must *at minimum* follow Canada's TriCouncil Policy on ethical conduct; the researcher must provide an outline of the research, and its intended purposes, a supervisory body contact, and documents that would address the concerns of any prospective participant. The researcher also needs to have certification in ethical standards (A TCPS II certificate) and others where relevant (SGBA+ for example). Anyone can look up the SSHRC, NSERC and CiHR Tricouncil policies.I would be reluctant to provide information. There is no assurance that information is for what is claimed.

Your comments confirm that caution is reasonable. The institution and not the individual should provide.Speaking as an academic employed in Canada who supervises research with human subjects, anyone completing this work must *at minimum* follow Canada's TriCouncil Policy on ethical conduct; the researcher must provide an outline of the research, and its intended purposes, a supervisory body contact, and documents that would address the concerns of any prospective participant.

Writing to Jordan would initiate a conversation on the topic, on his ethical obligations etc. and would then move to providing all the documents for informed consent, for the right to exit at any point, etc. And, in general, any participant receives a copy of the work at the end.
Questions that do not relate to the research are not permitted.
There's no need to scare off people who might be interested.
But not to a forum. That's not how it works. And the institution does not provide the material. The researcher provides prospective participants with the name and contact information of the institutional supervisor. NGO's doing similar work will often use the services of an REB (research ethics board) that is provincially regulated but independent of any particular institution.Your comments confirm that caution is reasonable. The institution and not the individual should provide.
I’m curious about this group and when and where they meet?I sent you PM Jordan. The Victoria chapter of the Canadian Company of Pilgrims is meeting on Thursday morning for their monthly coffee.

Great finish to this post! Humour is in short supply it seems so it should be enjoyed when it makes an appearance! I'm holding my last two interviews tomorrow however once the paper is finished it certainly will be available for general consumption. Cheers.and who decides?????
I have seen these ethical tribunals become the new ecclesiastical judges of our society. Let's not forget there is a 23 years old on the tribunal because we want everyone represented. Sometimes these work but sometimes it is the self proclaimed arbiters of truth that are an embarrassment to anyone with a functioning brain. I have seen an academic unable to do fundamental research because of the whining's of a group of incompetent people who were not capable of assessing the validity of the research...
Ok I will pull my axe from the grinder.....
Jordon, you seem like a wonderful man who is genuinely interested in this. Good luck with your research. In case you need an example of someone transformed by the Camino, I was a nice guy before the Camino and now a miserable curmudgeon. That is not true by the way- the Camino is transformative and most people who start are wonderful and they finish even more wonderful. I will be interested in reading about your research and remember...please be kind.
