Last Days - Training School, Madeira, 20-24 November - "On the collaborative economy. Learning from critical perspectives"
by Maurizio 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Dear all first of all, apologies for cross-posting but the available travel grants are a good opportunity, imho. There are still two days to apply for the Training School "On the collaborative economy. Learning from critical perspectives" that will take place in Madeira from the 20th to the 24th of November. The TS combines contributions from design, social sciences, and literature, in an effort to provide PhD students and early career researchers with the coordinates to frame research and design projects related to the collaborative economy in a wide perspective. It does so by mixing lectures by established academics and hands-on activities to critically interrogate platform capitalism and to learn about research strategies for investigating and promoting the collaborative economy. Lecturing and hands-on activities will be complemented by group discussions, moderated by instructors, on the research projects of the participants in order to stimulate a lively intellectual exchange among the participants. Participants coming from countries participating in the COST Action CA16121, "From Sharing to Caring: Examining Socio-Technical Aspects of the Collaborative Economy", whose applications for participation are accepted, may receive financial contribution in the form of a COST Trainee Grant up to €550 per person (for a maximum of 26 participants). This will support the cost of travel, accommodation and meals. There are no participation fees. Deadline for application is August 11th, 2017. You can find more information at this webpage: https://sharingandcaringcostaction.wordpress.com/activities/training-school… Early-career researchers are encouraged to apply. Anybody else is invited to share this email with anybody who can be interested. Best Maurizio

Observation log for online research
by Loup Cellard 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

Hi all, Everyone has good examples of "observation log" to conduct research on online behaviors ? Interesting ways to collect and categorize notes. Especially to study social media interactions. Maybe some extract from assignments or past research. I am thinking maybe for examples that come from digital ethnography/anthropology and design related contributions from HCI, UI/UX design...

Call for pre-conference proposals
by Oltmann, Shannon M 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Dear colleagues- I thought some of you might find this workshop and its call relevant. I’m coordinating it, so please feel free to contact me with any questions (or send a draft proposal). Call for Participation: The New Information State: How Information Ethics and Policy Affects Everyone, sponsored by SIG-IEP, ASIS&T Annual Meeting, Crystal City, Virginia Date: October 28, 2017 Abstract: In today’s milieu of fake news, misinformation, and generalized distrust of institutions, information ethics and policy affects everyone, across different information science research areas. In this workshop, we will analyze these changes to the informational state and discuss how we can address them through three themes: pedagogy for information ethics and policy, engagement with policymakers, and information ethics and policy across information science. Workshop participants are encouraged to participate in a variety of ways and will leave the workshop with tangible products that can be used in research and teaching. Contributions: For the workshop, we seek several different types of contributions: · Panel: A panel should incorporate two of the themes (see below, under workshop organization) and each panel is encouraged to include at least one person outside academia. Panels should be explicit about which themes are addressed and include a brief biography of each contributor. · Paper: A paper should address one of the themes (see below) in detail, tying it back to the broader discussion of the changed information state. Papers should be 3500-5000 words. · Speaker: We seek volunteers to synthesize these themes (see below) and address potential big-picture implications of these trends. Those interested in being a featured speaker should submit a c.v. and a brief essay (under 5000 words) on these themes. The deadline for all contributions is 8/18. Contributions should be emailed to Shannon Oltmann at: shannon.oltmann(a)uky.edu<mailto:shannon.oltmann@uky.edu>. Contact Shannon Oltmann with any questions.

IRC log analysis software
by Ogden J.R. 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Hi all - I’m looking for CAQDAS recommendations and/or pointers towards literature for analysing large sets of IRC logs. I began using NVivo but the load times with several years and channels of logs has made this a bit untenable. As my study is qualitative, my main priority is using something that allows me to use open coding, but automated coding/query retrieval is also desired - particularly to auto-code usernames (a function NVivo did quite nicely). Secondary priorities would be on text mining capabilities for topic tracking/analysis, for which I’ve found quite a bit of literature outlining. I currently have the data in CSV but if need be I can convert or retrieve in alternative formats. Any suggestions very much appreciated, many thanks in advance!
