Partner with Us: Reach your target audience while learning more about them! 

​

Given the current social climate (i.e., isolation and division) in the U.S., we believe that learning more about the spaces (bars/brewpubs) that provide individuals with different attitudes, beliefs and philosophies/ideologies a place to congregate and converse (civilly) is the key to easing tensions and fostering understanding. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to investigate the mechanisms in a neighborhood bar/brewpub that establish its level and type of sociability and to explore patrons’ backgrounds as well as their interests in visiting this bar.

​​

​

We will achieve this goal by interviewing approximately 75-100 adults (age 21 and older) from across the U.S.

 

Collected data will be used in two ways: 1) to create a book of stories/narratives that will be accompanied by participant photos 2) to create an online community/forum and associated resources to promote ongoing attention to this phenomenon, which may include a podcast as the mode for sharing these interviews (at least in part).

​

​The Bar Project is part of a larger independent research portfolio. Each of these projects is born from ideas that inspire us, areas of inquiry about which we are passionate and topics that bring us joy. This work is dedicated to our core values of Discovery, Cultivation and Growth. 

 

Since our work is independent of any organization or institution, funding sources are scarce/non-existent. In an effort to secure the time and resources needed to bring these projects to fruition, we have to self-fund and self-fundraise. And, we would be ecstatic to have your support!

 

Your sponsorship will cover the following:

• Project Development

• Project Recruitment of Participants

• Interviewing Participants

• Data Analysis

• Translating Findings into Book and Photo Essays

• Book Platform and Printing

 

​Won't You Join Us in exploring a place where the important stories are shared?

 It's where humanity is housed... it's where commonality is discovered and it's where growth begins. 

​

THIS PLACE IS THE BAR... THE BREWPUB.
