ONLINE TRAINING Social Media Research Ethics
This training has been developed by the Data, Communication and New Technologies (DCT) Pathway but is open to all ESRC funded and non-ESRC funded students within the WRDTP affiliated HEI’s.
Social media research raises a series of complex ethical challenges. Prior to the session, participants will be asked to briefly outline their research topic and method, as well as the ethical challenges they wish to discuss (a Google Form will be distributed a few days prior to the event). During the session we will explore and discuss some of the ethical issues that may arise when using different types of methods to capture and analyse social media data for research purposes and ways in which they can be addressed. The session will make use of practical examples/cases.
This training will be of particular interest to students who find that their usual methods of data collection have shifted online in the current COVID-19 global pandemic.
