Digital Methods as Mainstream Methodology

Digital Methods as Mainstream Methodology

Date            7 December 2012

Time            9.30am – 4.30pm

Location        The British Library, London

Digital methods have been utilised by a variety of disciplines. In an era in which social life is increasingly played out online, such methods offer different ways of asking new questions and generating new data. However, digital methods raise some concerns for researchers, such as maintaining ethical research practices, avoiding unrecognised biases, and keeping up with the pace of contemporary   technological developments. Despite over a decade of innovation and some notable achievements digital methods have yet to be accepted into the mainstream.

This network for methodological innovation aims to build capacity in the research community to address the opportunities and challenges that digitally inspired methods present for social research. Our second seminar showcases a cross-disciplinary range of contemporary social science research projects that utilise digital methods.
