Designing Research with/through Social Media Workshop

 

On November 29, 2023, the Centre for Media, Culture and Education hosted a workshop called ‘Research with/through Social Media’ led by Olesya Falenchuk, OISE Research Systems Analyst. This workshop engaged students in the practical how-to of conducting and analyzing research through/with social media, focusing on how to collect data across different sites and platforms, including social networking sites, media sharing platforms, blogs, forums, etc., as well as ways to analyze such data to answer important research questions across a variety of social, political, and cultural inquiries.

Day two embodies the communal and collaborative spirit of what it means to build. As a gathering of scholars, students and artists we envision and invoke the kind of hip hop community and culture that interrogates pedagogy, education, global relations and builds sustainable communities.

This session will discuss emerging hip hop research inside and outside the academy, and the accompanying ethical, political and social implications. What does hip hop look like in an institution? What are our teaching goals, and how does hip hop inform our pedagogical approaches? How might teaching hip hop in the community influence the inner workings of the University system
