Seeking conversations about friendship in intentional communities

I am writing a book about the politics of friendship, and the structural factors (capitalism, individualism, etc) that make it harder for us to have the types of lives and relationships we desire.
I am interested in interviewing people who live in more communal housing situations than most North Americans do, to hear about how it affects the way your life and relationships are set up.
The interviews could take place by video chat, phone, or in writing. You would be able to review anything that you have said that goes into the book, and have total edit/veto power over it, and to be quoted with your name, a pseudonym, or anonymously, whatever you are comfortable with.
About me:
I’m a nonbinary white person in my late 30s, living in Montreal. My day job is in supporting co-operative and affordable housing, and my own life has been greatly enriched by living with roommates, but I’ve never lived in a more ‘formal’ coliving situation, although I hope to at some point!
You can reach me at lee@sheerspite.ca if you would like to talk or ask any questions about this project.
