| Nov 9, 2015 at 18:47 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I think it is a good list, and your caution to be careful afterwards is good. In my opinion it should be made even more clear that this is different from doing similar research for a job or applying to a graduate program. What might be natural approaches in those cases may not yield good results here. Gerhard "Obviously Likes This Especially Clear" Paseman, 2015.11.09 | |
| Nov 9, 2015 at 18:46 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl♦ | @GerhardPaseman: The phrasing of the questions is of course up to the asker, and how best to formulate depends on the country (I think there are e.g. significant differences between the US and many countries in Europe), etc., etc.. -- I mentioned only some key topics to enquire about. | |
| Nov 9, 2015 at 18:17 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | Some people are forthcoming and can give what I think might be good answers to the questions above. A lot of people have political and other concerns which color their responses. If you can phrase the questions so that the answers are "less commital", you may have more success with them. In particular, approach it like " I'm looking for a group which X, is your group like that?", where X reflects your desires. The responder can judge whether you might fit in without revealing any dirty laundry about themselves or the group. Gerhard "Machiavelli Had Some Good Points" Paseman, 2015.11.09 | |
