Within social media research, a growing body of work blends social science and computational approaches. At the core of social media data are people creating and sharing content. This data is more pervasive and accessible than ever before. Many issues including fairness, transparency, and accountability as it relates to data collection, manipulation and assessment have sparked debate and thus created tensions and challenges within the field.
This 1/2 day workshop aims to bring together a diverse set of participants to discuss how these tensions are being considered during the research design process, how researchers are handling these tensions and if these tensions are more prevalent in specific domains.
