We invite you to consider submitting a position paper or appropriate case
study paper to an upcoming workshop on the ethics of big data research in
online environments. The workshop will take place in March as part of the
annual conference on Computer-Supported Collaborative Work, set for 2015 in
beautiful Vancouver, BC, Canada.
From the workshop Call for Papers:
"The evolution of social technology and research methods present ongoing
challenges to studying people online. Recent high-profile cases have
prompted discussion among both the research community and the general
public about the ethical implications of researching humans, their
information, and their activities in large-scale digital contexts. Examples
of scientific and market research involving Facebook users and OKCupid
clients exemplify the ethical complexities of both studying and
manipulating online user behavior. When does data science become human
subjects research, and what are our obligations to these subjects as
researchers? Drawing from previous work around the ethics of digital
research, one goal of this workshop is to work towards a set of guiding
principles for CSCW scholars doing research online."
This workshop grew out of relationships and collaborations forged and
strengthened via this year's Sociotechnical Summer Institute, through
the Consortium
for the Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST)
