Participants will submit a position paper either proposing a future study investigating online communities managed by volunteer community moderators or an issue paper addressing important problems/directions that the future of research in community moderation research should consider. These papers are not intended to be concrete, fully-developed research plans but rather starting points for conversations that will take place during the workshop. Organizers will review position paper submissions with a focus on identifying a breadth of perspectives and levels of experience in the field. Participants are encouraged to include 1 - 2 paragraphs describing their background and/or personal interests in studying online community moderation.
Future study examples:
Issue paper examples:
Paper topics are not limited to these examples. Participants may also draw from the topics listed in the themes section of this site for potential jumping boards for their position papers. We encourage participants to offer their unique perspectives to this growing field of research and the direction they would like to see it go in the future.
This workshop will host a maximum of 20 participants.
Please send your position papers to the following email address: communitymoderationworkshop@gmail.com
