privacy and protection
by Mark Marino 07 Jun '08

07 Jun '08

Hi, all, a colleague of mine told me that a student of hers wants to embark on some research on a politically sensitive issue. She wants to ask some questions that shouldn't be asked to people who shouldn't be telling (at least on the record). (She is a member of the group she'd be studying) The student is worried that even asking the questions online might endanger her status or the lives of those she wants to interview and survey. Any recommendation on how this student might conduct this research safely? I had suggested she might use her blog to let people know about the study, but she would need a blog that couldn't be traced to her. Someone has suggested IP-masking, but I'm not sure if this is the complete solution. It also doesn't nec. protect her participants. Another person said, keeping your identity private is difficult only to the extent that you believe someone else is trying to discover it. (I understand the comment, but hope to recommend some practical measures.) Any recommendations (on or off list) are welcome. Thank you, Mark Marino -- Writing Program University of Southern California http://WriterResponseTheory.org http://CriticalCodeStudies.com

CAT Developments
by Stuart Shulman 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

There have been some significant developments with the Coding Analysis Toolkit (CAT). The system is becoming steadily more robust and we have over 300 beta testers with user accounts. The system is currently free and will, in the next year, be released as Open Source under a General Public License. Anyone can set up a web-based account and load raw or ATLAS.ti-coded data to take advantage of the reliability and validity tools, as well as the coding module for raw data. http://www.qdap.pitt.edu/cat.htm Although I am moving to UMass Amherst to join the political science department in the fall, the lab I created (QDAP) will continue here and I will retain some sort of active affiliation. We are one of the only fee-for-service coding labs in North America (if you know of others, please let me know). Our coders logged over 5,900 coding hours this fiscal year and our transcriptionists completed 2,500 hours of transcription. QDAP is housed in a University-wide research center and services a wide range of NIH-, NIMH-, NSF-, and DARPA-funded PIs. The QDAP model is not for everyone, but I can say we have a growing list of happy customers, especially those working in the mixed methods tradition. http://www.qdap.pitt.edu/testimonials.htm ~Stu ________________________________________________________ Dr. Stuart W.

Privacy Rights Management in Mobile Applications (PRIMMA) is a major new three year research project funded by the EPSRC that will investigate privacy in mobile computing. The research fellow, based at the Open University, will work as part of a team comprising researchers at the Open University, University of Bath, Imperial College London and IBM. The research fellow will conduct research that both investigates users' current requirements in terms of mobile privacy, and that also asks fundamental questions about the nature of privacy, trust, social interaction and human relations in the context of mobile social networking. We are looking for candidates who display the talent, creativity, and enthusiasm necessary to perform outstanding research into privacy that will make a difference - to ask original, concrete questions and to adopt incisive methodologies for exploring them, in order to help positively shape the development of pervasive, location-aware mobile systems, and those whose lives are affected by it. Applicants should have (or expect to receive by September 2008) a Masters level degree (ideally a PhD) in a relevant subject (e.g. human-computer interaction, software engineering, computer science, information systems, psychology, communication studies), and an interest in privacy, security, social networks or pervasive and mobile computing. For further details about the position, contact the project principal investigator, Professor Bashar Nuseibeh: B.Nuseibeh(a)open.ac.uk. Informal enquiries are encouraged. A 'Further Particulars' document elaborating on the project and the post is available (see link below) Applications should include a completed application form, a CV, and a cover letter/research statement explaining the candidate's suitability for the position. Applications should be sent electronically to Professor Bashar Nuseibeh and copied to mct-recruitment(a)open.ac.uk . Disabled applicants who meet the essential job requirements will be interviewed. Further particulars are available in large print, disk or audiotape (minicom 01908 654901). We promote diversity in employment and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
