PhD / Research programs - linguistics and social media
Dear Colleagues A bright student, (a linguist by training and currently completing a Masters thesis about socio-linguistics approaches to the use of language on Facebook), asked me for research and PhD programs for further studies -Not very much related to my expertise, unfortunately. Any suggestions for such programs in the intersection of linguistics and social media?

Dear Kushchu, Language@Internet is an open access journal that regularly has good articles that take a sociolinguistic approach to Facebook data (though last year their output seems to have dipped a bit). At Lancaster we have several staff researching in the area of language and digital media (David Barton, Julia Gillen, Karin Tusting, Mark Sebba, myself) and also a number of PhD students already looking at facebook and other social networks - and we have a new MA in Digital Literacies, which means there are also research training opportunities for PhD students working in this area.

Hello everyone, We have a new MSc in Learning Innovation starting October at the Institute of Learning, University of Leicester. It will be delivered through distance learning. Professor Gráinne Conole is director of the Institute. You can contact my supervisor, Dr Palitha Edirisingha, to discuss the offering. His contact information is shown on the page: http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/education/distance-learning/mscli/course-de tails Of course, I am always prepared to talk about my distance experiences!

Dear Kushchu, Indiana University would also be a good place to study this -- either in the linguistics department or in the Dept. of Communication and Culture. Regards, Ilana Ilana Gershon Dept. of Communication and Culture Indiana University On 5/2/2013 8:18 AM, Prof. I. Kushchu wrote:

Dear Kushchu, Like Ilana, I also recommend our very own Indiana University, Bloomington. Prof. Susan Herring, the former editor of JCMC and the current editor of Language@Internet, is based in IU's School of Library and Information Science (soon to become the Department of Information and Library Science as we merge with the School of Informatics and Computing) and also the Department of Linguistics. We also have a host of scholars working within the area of social informatics, etc. IU also has the Rob Kling Center for Social Informatics. We have courses on Computer-Mediated Communication, Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis, Gender and Computerization, Social Media Mining, and Content Analysis for the World Wide Web. You could checkProf. Herring's as well as my own Webpages (especially the research and teaching sections of each) for more about these courses. I also recommend checking other courses we have. In linguistics, we also have faculty interested in overlapping areas. Please feel free to email me off the list at "mabdulma@indiana.edu" should you need further related information. Good luck with your search!
