Dear all, You are invited to join a live online event as part of our fishbowl on ‘Digital Research Pedagogies’ for this year’s AoIR2020 conference (see our initial provocations video in playlist 04 – 'Internet research: Sources, methods, pedagogies'). Hosted by the Digital Intimacy, Gender and Sexuality (DIGS) Lab at Concordia University (https://www.digslab.net/) and led by scholars from North America, Europe, and Australia, this session will take place on Friday 23 October 2020 at 20:00 UTC / 16:00 east coast North America / 13:00 west coast North America. While not quite replicating the in-person fishbowl experience, this event is intended as a discussion with interested researchers and teachers, and we invite participation from across the AoIR community. A full description of the event follows below. Speakers: Stefanie Duguay, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada Ariadna Matamoros-Fernandez, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia Pablo Rodrigo Velasco González, University of Aarhus, Aarhus, Denmark Tim Highfield, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom Fenwick McKelvey, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada Register for the event here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/digital-research-pedagogies-tickets-121216322283.

Friday 23 October: 20:00 UTC / 16:00 EDT / 13:00 PDT / Saturday 24 October 07:00 AEDT About this event: As part of our fishbowl session at the Association of Internet Researchers’ (AoIR) 2020 Conference, this live online session invites discussion of how to teach about digital research and its associated methodological approaches. As internet scholars, we develop and engage with new methods for researching digitally mediated life and digital technologies, even as they are ever-changing and updating. We also pass along methods collegially (such as through the AoIR listserv), in post-secondary classrooms, and through other forms of knowledge transfer. This pedagogy often necessitates unconventional and unique approaches that address the realities of digital research, which include difficulty accessing data, unexplored platforms, shifting cultures of use, and evolving research tools, among other complications. Rapid expansion in the realms of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things further challenge us to make these unfolding areas intelligible to our students while we simultaneously grapple with how to study them. Join us to think through these topics and discuss approaches to teaching about digital research methods. This session is open to all AoIR attendees and more broadly to scholars not registered for the conference. The speakers will pose initial routes of inquiry and open the floor for discussion as a scholarly community. -- *Dr Tim Highfield | *Pronouns: he, his Lecturer in Digital Media & Society Department of Sociological Studies, University of Sheffield Elmfield, Northumberland Road Sheffield S10 2TU *Research projects* Digital Media, Location Awareness, and the Politics of Geodata <https://research.qut.edu.au/geoprivacy/> (ARC DP180100174) *Instagram: Visual Social Media Cultures* <http://timhighfield.net/research/instagram/> (with Tama Leaver and Crystal Abidin; Polity, 2020) *Social Media and Everyday Politics* <http://timhighfield.net/research/social-media-and-everyday-politics/> (Polity, 2016) timhighfield.net / @timhighfield <http://twitter.com/timhighfield>
