Hi AIR folks, Long-time follower, first-time emailer! I'm a PhD candidate in Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. I study the men's rights movement, using interviews, ethnography, archival research, and textual analysis. I'm currently looking at both pre-digital and digital materials, and trying to unpack how the movement "came online" around the 1990s. I'm reaching out to elicit some advice, recommendations, and help with a few challenges I'm encountering: 1. Can anyone recommend good sources on early Internet history, particularly with regards to gender? I'm especially interested in how and when "regular" people started to adopt Internet technologies. I've found some interesting evidence in print materials from the early 1990s that show men's rights activists transitioning to online spaces, but I'd like to historicize and contextualize what I'm seeing. 2. I'd like to start doing some "digital ethnography" via Twitter. My university's IRB liaison suggested I build a simple webpage where I can explain my research, have my consent form, etc. and link to it in my Twitter profile/tweets to meet IRB's standards for consent with human subjects. However, given the population I study, I'm concerned about personal safety, doxxing, harassment, etc. I don't want to be paranoid, but I also don't want to be naive about putting my personal information into the digital sphere via an easily-hackable webpage. Any advice or recommendations on digital security or how to go about digital ethnography with "difficult" populations be most appreciated. Thanks and best regards, Lexi de Coning
