1 Challenging conventions: Towards ‘discipline-grounded’ ethical reflexivity in new media research Dr Filippo Trevisan MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit University of Glasgow 25 th April 2014 @filippotrevisan  www.filippotrevisan.net

2 To research or not to research? Social networking sites: public or private? Is it OK to lurk, scrape, archive and, possibly, reproduce their content simply because it is publicly available?  Back to basics: what is the research trying to achieve? Benefit-cost analysis. Two ethical ‘bottlenecks:’  Research design & data collection  Results presentation @filippotrevisan - www.filippotrevisan.net 2

3 Collecting social media data Are established ethical conventions still fit for purpose? In disability research: ‘vulnerable groups’ concept: -Patronising and exclusionary -Ineffective in the context of online research  Generates an illusion of ethical compliance  Focus on what people are saying rather than trying to establish who said it: sensitive issues (e.g. individual daily routines; medical records; emotional accounts; financial details; discrimination and abuse episodes; suicidal thoughts; etc.) to be granted additional attention. @filippotrevisan - www.filippotrevisan.net 3

4 Presenting social media data Key aim: project participants’ voices while protecting them from harm Traditionally, anonymised quotes to contextualise content analysis: is this a safe system in new media research? Problem: virtually impossible to guarantee anonymity, especially in the long term (technological changes may over-ride current privacy settings) Innovative ways around verbatim quotes: fabrication (Markham, 2012) – controversial and potentially distortive @filippotrevisan - www.filippotrevisan.net 4
