There is an ACM-CHI workshop on the topic (deadline Nov 20th) by Amy Bruckman, Bob Kraut and others that looks to be good. Derek Hansen Assistant Professr Maryland's iSchool On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 3:18 AM, Charles Ess <charles.ess@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Jessica, all,
FWIW, here's my reply to Angela, with a copy to Elizabeth Buchanan and Heidi McKee: == the AoIR ethics statement is currently under revision - in part, precisely so as to focus on the ethical issues that emerge with SNSs, games, blogging, etc. Elizabeth Buchanan is chair of that committee and may be able to report on recent progress - she'll know if anyone does.
In the meantime, Heidi McKee and James Porter have a _terrific_ book with Peter Lang coming out soon, _ The Ethics of Internet Research: A Rhetorical, Case-based Process_, that includes a chapter on "Researching Blogs, Chats, Discussion Forums, and Social Networking Sites." I don't know how much of that Heidi and Jim can share with you at this stage, but I recommend you get in touch with them to ask. ==
For my part, I'm working up a presentation on "Facebook and Ethics: Preliminary Issues, Possible Frameworks and Resolutions" as part of a workshop on "Cultures of Facebook," a seminar organized by Anja Bechmann and the Centre for Internet Research, Department of Information and Media Studies, Aarhus University - see: <http://www.cfi.au.dk/arrangementer/2009/1117>. As usual, I'll be happy to share slides and notes - a good portion of which will draw from the McKee & Porter text, as well as from recent work by Michael Zimmer and other contributors and participants at this year's preconference workshop on Internet research ethics.
Hope this helps! - charles ess

Hello All,
I wonder whether anybody might be able to point me to any papers or updated ethics statements from AoIR / the AoIR membership about the ethics of conducting research on facebook please.
Many thanks in advance, Angela
