Do you have a close friend whose class background differs to your own? Would you be interested in talking to university researchers about this friendship? If so, we would love to hear from you.

We are interested in how you met this friend, what keeps your friendship strong, if class differences impact on this friendship, and your thoughts on friendship in general.

Your interview will be treated as confidential and last between 60-90 minutes. It can take place over Zoom or in person. You will receive a fifty-dollar gift card as a token of appreciation.
