Tech workers whose family worked in tech?
by gus andrews 21 May '16

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.

Ethical guidelines for Instagram
by María González Aguado 20 May '16

20 May '16

Dear members, I'm writing you asking for ethical advice to conduct ethnography on Instagram. I'll really appreciate if you could let me know if there are any ethical guidelines or publications on how to conduct online research with people undergoing severe mental conditions, and if there is anything specific for Instagram. The only ones I know are the guidelines of the British Psychological Association. In the same way, if any of you are working online on sensitive topics, any advice is welcomed. Thanks a lot in advance. Best wishes, María -- María González Aguado Research Fellow- Department of Sociology University of Leicester University Road Leicester LE1 7RH, UK

Just Out: Social Media Abyss, Critical Internet Culture and the Force of Negation by Geert Lovink
by Geert Lovink 20 May '16

20 May '16

Just Out: Social Media Abyss, Critical Internet Culture and the Force of Negation by Geert Lovink In this fifth volume of his ongoing investigations, Dutch media theorist and internet critic Geert Lovink plunges into the paradoxical condition of the new digital normal versus a lived state of emergency. There is a heightened, post-Snowden awareness; we know we are under surveillance but we click, share, rank and remix with a perverse indifference to technologies of capture and cultures of fear. Despite the incursion into privacy by companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon, social media use continues to be a daily habit with shrinking gadgets now an integral part of our busy lives. We are thrown between addiction anxiety and subliminal, obsessive use. Where does art, culture and criticism venture when the digital vanishes into the background? Geert Lovink strides into the frenzied social media debate with Social Media Abyss the fifth volume of his ongoing investigation into critical internet culture. He examines the symbiotic yet problematic relation between networks and social movements, and further develops the notion of organized networks. Lovink doesn't just submit to the empty soul of 24/7 communication but rather provides the reader with radical alternatives. Selfie culture is one of many Lovink's topics, along with the internet obsession of American writer Jonathan Franzen, the internet in Uganda, the aesthetics of Anonymous and an anatomy of the Bitcoin religion. Will monetization through cybercurrencies and crowdfunding contribute to a redistribution of wealth or further widen the gap between rich and poor? In this age of the free, how a revenue model of the 99% be collectively designed? Welcome back to the Social Question. English/UK edition (Polity Press) available from May 20, 2016. https://www.polity.co.uk/book.asp?ref=9781509507757 <https://www.polity.co.uk/book.asp?ref=9781509507757> Italian translation out early June (Agea) with book launches in Rome and Milan. German translation (Transcript Verlag) out early October 2016. Turkish translation (Autonom), scheduled for early 2017.
