Here's a great one that always stands out to me - but it's not academic, just for entertainment purposes. http://alphavilleherald.com/2003/12/evangeline_inte.html On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Natalie Sappleton <N.Sappleton@mmu.ac.uk> wrote:

1. What sort of information do you seek from your interviews? 2. What sort of trolls do you want to interview? 3. Are there specific guidelines you prefer to follow during the process?

Whitney Phillips' new book "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" has a chapter on some of her methodological issues.
Can't recommend Whitney Phillips enough on this subject. You can also take a look at some of Burcu Bakioglu's work. --- Alexander Leavitt PhD Candidate USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism http://alexleavitt.com Twitter: @alexleavitt <http://twitter.com/alexleavitt> On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 7:23 AM, Joseph Reagle <joseph.2011@reagle.org> wrote:

This might be of interest, apologies for cross posting. The Centre for Law and Society at Lancaster University is organising a conference which may be of interest to you and/or your colleagues. The conference will be looking at the silencing of audible and visible women – from the scolds’ bridle in the middle ages to internet and social media ‘trolling’ in the 21st Century. Professor Feona Attwood (Middlesex), has kindly agreed to be the keynote speaker; she is speaking on ‘Sisterhood, Sex and Censorship’. The conference will be on 14th September 2015.

Just a quick 'thanks' to all who responded to my request! I have some good material now.

How ironic to suggest to follow a web link to learn about (the risks of) opening any attachments. In a different setting this would make for decent trolling ;) Christopher -- Dr. Christopher Lueg Professor of Computing University of Tasmania Private Bag 87, Hobart TAS 7001, Australia https://www.linkedin.com/in/clueg https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Christopher_Lueg CRICOS Provider Code: 00586B
