The first half of this workshop will be streamed on YouTube. Register for reminders and event updates. *Register: *https://aussts2020-sessiontwo.eventbrite.com.au *Presenters:* Celia Roberts (ANU), Adrian Mackenzie (ANU), and Emily van der Nagel (Monash) *Facilitators*: Courtney Addison (VUW), Declan Kuch (UNSW), and Owen McNamara (ANU) *When: *Thursday July 30th, 10am *Description: *In this event, Celia Roberts (ANU), Adrian Mackenzie (ANU), and Emily van der Nagel (Monash) will discuss the conceptual possibilities, ethics, and politics of conducting research online. At a time when curtailed mobility has prompted many of us to take our work online, these conversations will consider some of the digital artefacts that avail themselves of STS analyses. While some traditional archives have gone online and other forms of archive are taking shape through the affordances of the internet (Ogden, Halford, and Carr 2019), conceptualising digital life as archive attunes us to the epistemic resources and the power dynamics that guide their aggregation online (Zeitlan 2012). This event comprises three/four ten minute talks on this theme and a subsequent panel discussion, followed by a workshop for HDR and ECRs who wish to engage further in these discussions. *How to participate:* This session has two parts: the first half will be a presentation from the presenters; the second half will be a workshop style format with participants taking part in activities and discussion.
