Hi
I am a researcher at Curtin University in Perth WA, and I am currently conducting research into deconversion experiences. I am looking for volunteers from the Perth area who would be willing to share their deconversion stories with me. If you know of anyone who may be interested or if you yourself are please contact me on the email listed below. Here is my print ad with the details:

ExChristian?

Have you left a Christian based religion that you were raised in from childhood?
If so we would like to speak to you.

Volunteers are required for a research project being conducted through the School of Psychology at Curtin University, entitled Losing my religion: Existential outcomes following deconversion from a Christian faith. The aim of this project is to establish whether there are any common thoughts, emotions or experiences shared by individuals who have broken away from a Christian based faith.

Volunteers will be required to take part in a one hour interview with the researcher in which questions will be asked regarding your personal religious history and experiences, and current thoughts and emotions relating to religion.

If you are interested in taking part in this study and would like further information, please email your interest to:

Make sure you also contact exchristian.net. There's a large community of deconverts there, and you might find a connection to some in your area.

If your interviews could be conducted online or by phone you would have a much easier time finding people. I only know a few Australians online, and none in your area.

Thanks for that Ubi:)
It would be so much easier if I could do interviews over the net/phone but the ethics committee at my university requested that I do face to face. I will give exchristian.net a try also.
