BPS' Ethics Guidelines for Internet-mediated Research published!
Thursday November 28, 2013 @ 10:41 AM (UTC)The internet and web are technologies that connect humans to humans via a computer. When training as an academic, I became very interested in the ethical implications of online research, at a time when there wasn’t much out there for fledgling PhD researchers like me. In short: it’s a minefield. In long: there’s now a set of guidelines covering the issues that is available from the British Psychological Society.

[DML Central] Lying About the Past: T Mills Kelly explains the origin of an internet hoax
Tuesday April 30, 2013 @ 03:33 AM (UTC)I interviewed George Mason University’s T Mills Kelly for BBC Radio 4’s The Digital Human, for the programme about Mischief. Prof Kelly ran a history course called “Lying About The Past,” which gained attention from (and the wrath of) the internet community, the press and history teachers. Why? because he asked his students to create an internet hoax.

[Event] DATE CHANGE! Analog lessons from masters of the senses: the feel, smell and sound of immersion
Friday March 15, 2013 @ 07:06 PM (UTC)Next Monday 18 March, I will be convening a workshop at the Oxford Internet Institute, speaking with three professionals who have made their livings manipulating fear, sound and smell.

[DML Central] 'The Virtual Revolution': Argentina
Tuesday September 11, 2012 @ 04:39 PM (UTC)My latest blogpost for DML Central describes some of the things I discovered about the South American technology scene on a recent trip to Argentina. Here’s an excerpt:
Belen Igarzábal from FLACSO is currently producing an 8-part television series inspired by The Virtual Revolution which will look at the impact of this communications technology on Latin America. She and the production team are traveling to Brazil, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay to explore the issues from a particularly South American perspective: “There’a a lot of research about how the internet is evolving and changing our participation, governments and economics around the world, but nothing about South America. We have particularities: we are a mix of cultures — Aboriginal, Spanish, Portuguese — and that mix makes us different from other parts of the world in terms of how we connect, how the government is involved in connectivity, in education.”
