Social Media Research: next steps agreed

By Simon J Lock, on 2 May 2012

Our energetic UCL Town Meeting in April brought together academic staff and students from across UCL to identify common interests and potential future research directions relating to social media.  STS staff Simon Lock, Jon Agar and Karen Bultitude teamed up with UCL colleagues from Digital Humanities and Anthropology to stimulate discussion and provide a mapping of academic staff and student interests in social media research.  The event formed part of a UCL Grand Challenges project which aims to develop collaborations and strategic research around social media at UCL.

See Simon J Lock’s presentation from the meeting below:

The participant contributions are still under review however initial analysis indicates interests in developing robust data sharing approaches as well as social media opportunities for student engagement and collaborative working with public groups.  We’ll be posting up the contributions to the blog very soon.
