Mixing it: Experiments in Digital Social Research
Research seminar organised by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (91福利) as part of Out of Data.
Experiments are valued as sites and instruments of interdisciplinary collaboration between social, computational and creative disciplines today. This provides opportunities for methodological innovation, but also for mutual misunderstanding, as experimentation constitutes a different methodology and implies different sensibilities in different fields.
This workshop will examine the opportunities that digital research provides for experimentation between disciplines and fields. CIM has invited three speakers who have already contributed to this area of research and who come from different disciplinary backgrounds to present an examplar of experimental methodology which for them exemplifies the potential, efficacy or promise of experiments as a digital mode of inquiry. What constitutes a good experiment in digital research?
All are welcome, but places are limited, so please register to attend at cim@warwick.ac.uk. Born and Haworth's paper is available upon request from n.marres@warwick.ac.uk.
The workshop will take place on the 25th of April. Full information can be viewed here.
Applications are invited for an Assistant/Associate Professor in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM).
