Media, Technology & Culture Open Access Lectures
by Joshua Braun 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hi AoIR! Courtesy of Culture Digitally, I've just open-accessed the audio lectures for the first unit of my undergraduate "Media, Technology & Culture" course at UMass. They're formatted as podcasts and take on the obligatory question for most such courses, "How new are 'new media?'" They feature guest appearances from some great historians and sociologists and I hope some of you may find them useful as assigned "readings" for your own classes. http://culturedigitally.org/2016/05/media-technology-culture-open-source-au… If you listen and/or make use of them I hope you'll also take the time to provide feedback, as a big motivation on my part for posting these is to make them better and to involve more voices in the conversations that happen in my own classroom. Many Thanks, Josh -- Josh Braun, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Journalism Studies Journalism Department University of Massachusetts Amherst @josh_braun Skype: wideaperture http://wideaperture.net/ new book: http://wideaperture.net/?view=book "Maybe the only gift is a chance to inquire, to know nothing for certain.

Possible Book Proposals on Internet, Games and Tech
by Alfie Bown 23 May '16

23 May '16

Dear all, I am hoping some of the researchers on the list would be interested in a recent book I wrote called 'Enjoying It: Candy Crush and Capitalism <http://www.bookdepository.com/Enjoying-it-Alfie-Bown/9781785351556?ref=grid -view> ' which came out with Zero Books. There is an idea of the project here <http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/seconds-of-pleasure/> and a 5 minute video about it here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW9oF3OPzqQ> . If there is any interest in the project, I am now working with Zero Books and looking to solicit some book proposals for the publisher in the fields of videogames, technology and the internet. Zero Books publish shorter books of around 20k-30k words and print affordable paperbacks that can be fairly widely disseminated. If you are interested in submitting a proposal for a book which you think might be a match, feel free to get in touch.

New Association Coordinator for AoIR
by Jennifer Stromer-Galley 22 May '16

22 May '16

Hi everyone, It is with sadness that I announce that Courtney Bennett, AoIR's Association Coordinator, is stepping down from her role for family reasons. She has been tremendously helpful in her time with AoIR, and we wish her much luck in her future pursuits. Fortunately for the Association, one of our members is a great fit for the role. Michelle K. Gardner will be starting as Association Coordinator May 30th. She has a background in events coordination, but her passions are for all things digital. Michelle has researched the use of social media tools for engagement, communication, and education. Over the last several years Michelle has educated people across the United States on social media tools and their uses through conference presentations, invited talks, and keynote luncheons. When not otherwise occupied, Michelle can usually be found hanging out with Harry Potter fans or traveling. <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__aoir.org_wp-2Dcontent_u…> If you ever have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to email Michelle at ac(a)aoir.org<mailto:ac@aoir.org> or me at prez(a)aoir.org<mailto:prez@aoir.org>. ~Jenny Stromer-Galley President, AoIR

Tech workers whose family worked in tech?

Hi there, Does anyone know of data which includes statistics on how many people who now work in tech had family members working in tech as they were growing up? I'm working on a small study asking similar questions and am hoping to connect my finding to larger datasets. Thanks!

Re: [Air-L] Ethical guidelines for Instagram
by Tiffany Woelfel 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hi Maria, Meryl, Annette, Yukari and other members, I am looking to connect with others who have an interest in the area of social media and ethics. In a past life I was a very successful study manager who could recruit and locate the most difficult to find participants (e.g. prisoners, injecting drug users, parents with open CPS cases, etc.) and trained my staff to create work accounts on social media for participant recruitment and retention. I then went on to be an IRB reviewer and was puzzled by the aversion many IRBs held against social media research despite the lack of federal regulations or guidance pertaining to this issue. I'm now graduating with dual masters and conducted a qualitative study with IRB professionals across the country on this topic for my thesis. Below is a YouTube link to a Town Hall talk I gave where I shared preliminary findings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XywfWZCkr0 I've also joined a new collaboration at the UC San Diego called CORE (Connected and Open Research Ethics). The CORE <http://thecore.ucsd.edu/network/> initiative is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to bridge a gap between researchers using new technologies and IRBs. The goal is to create a community of stakeholders who can inform best practices that can help make the process of ethical review for research involving emerging technology relevant and timely. We are asking a few of our key CORE Network members to help with populating the CORE Resource Library. We specifically need examples of language in research protocols and consent forms that the IRB found acceptable with respect to the use of social media. If you have any examples of that language, or any other helpful resources, the attached directions will walk you through how to share them with the CORE Network. *If you have resources you’d like to share with me but don’t have time to upload them yourself, please let me know. I can also upload them and list you as the source*. Here are a few news stories to explain more about CORE and a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upy5UrKACw4 http://www.bna.com/new-tool-help-n57982064115/ https://health.ucsd.edu/news/releases/Pages/2016-03-18-BRIC-program-for-edu… I am also happy to connect you with the CORE team members who can best answer questions you may have. I have a Google Drive folder full of articles I can share with you as well if you'd like and attached a doc with lots of links you may find helpful. *Tiffany Woelfel, MSW, MPHc* @tiffpage CORE <http://thecore.ucsd.edu/> Member *NASW-WA* South Puget Sound Regional Chair www.nasw-wa.org Follow us on Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/NASW-WA-Chapter-294969359118/> On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 10:50 AM, María González Aguado < mariagaguado(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Dear members, > > I'm writing you asking for ethical advice to conduct ethnography on > Instagram.
