  • What are the online behaviors and social dynamics of participants in a specific online community?
  • How do people use social media platforms to express their identities, beliefs, and values?
  • How does the use of online dating platforms differ among various age groups and cultures?
  • What are the cultural norms and values expressed in online fan communities dedicated to a particular television show or movie franchise?

    Maybe, through a comparative analysis with another council with a less ethnically diverse population, it would prove fruitful in understanding the relationship between different backgrounds and how stalls are allocated. ]]>     2023-02-24 13:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kalinazhekova2/nj2vavxw0k9jkr5s/wish/2493895019     Arab Spring https://padlet.com/kalinazhekova2/nj2vavxw0k9jkr5s/wish/2493895544 How did social media in the Middle East/Northern Africa catalyse the Arab Spring protests ?

    Look at twitter feeds for each country and derive a story based on the changes in online antipathy towards the governments in each country 

    privacy and consent: anonymise usernames - protect authors from govt hitting back
    data collection: have balance as not too exaggerate a dynamic

    Data to be used: data from social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Specifically, I would conduct a search for hashtags and keywords related to dietary supplements and health information, and I would analyze the user-generated content (e.g. posts, comments, and reviews) related to these topics. I would also collect data on user demographics, such as age, gender, and geographic location, to better understand the characteristics of the individuals engaging in these online conversations.

    Ethical issues to consider: One ethical issue to consider is the need to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the individuals whose data is being analyzed. This requires obtaining informed consent from users whose social media data is being collected and analyzed. Additionally, it is important to carefully consider how to manage and store the data to ensure that it is secure and not subject to unauthorized access or use. ]]>     2023-02-24 13:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kalinazhekova2/nj2vavxw0k9jkr5s/wish/2493895712     Q: How does mainstream media coverage of femicide affect the lived experience of non-white women in the UK? https://padlet.com/kalinazhekova2/nj2vavxw0k9jkr5s/wish/2493896506 Method:
    • tiktok, very immersive platform, creators can express their thoughts clearly and immediately given the video format, comments section and ‘stitch’ option very useful
    • feminist pages
    • news outlet accounts - reactions to stories posted 
      • Samia Shahid, how was coverage of this story different to that of Sarah Everard?
      • Were presentations of the two victims framed in terms of race and culture?
    • concerned with the framing of cases 
      • along racialised lines
      • empathy versus pity, one is more useful than the other
      • cultural high ground
      • moral high ground

    Ethical considerations:
    • ask admin of the account from which the original video was posted
    • approach those who have ‘stitched’ the video, ask if i can use it as data, or ask them more questions
    • participants may wish to be anonymous due to the nature of the topic at hand
    • may be emotional for them
    • how long would I keep data for?

Collecting posts on mobilisation. 
    Ethics: relation of power between participant and researcher. Anonymity of Telegram groups, potential of participant harm. Maintaining privacy and receiving participation agreement from participants. ]]>     2023-02-24 13:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kalinazhekova2/nj2vavxw0k9jkr5s/wish/2493897569
