About the Presentations

The conference keynote speaker is Dr Farida Vis. Farida will present on two topics at the

conference. She will talk about her own researching social media experience with reference to

particular projects. Later she will also deliver a skills lab, aimed at developing our technical

ability to use social media in a social research context.

Brian Kelly will speak on ‘Using Social Media To Enhance your Research Activities’, which

covers engagement with one's peers, and dissemination and maximising impact. Brian will

summarise the benefits which can be gained from use of social media to support research

activities, for example to engage with fellow researchers, meet new collaborators and co-authors

and enhance awareness and impact of research papers.

Gareth Morrell (with Kelsey Beninger and Natalie Jago) will present ‘Are we getting it right?

Social media users’ views on social media research’. This session reports on initial findings

from a ground-breaking study exploring the views of social media users about privacy,

confidentiality and use of their social media data for research purposes. Do Twitter users really

care about their tweets being used for social research?

Dr Nicola Stanley will present ‘Exploring the privacy behaviours of social media users’,

based on a survey of online panel respondents. The research explored the context for and

reasons why research participants were making their personal and sensitive information available

online, and the paper considers how researchers should respond to this recent change in

behaviour.

Claire Meehan will speak on ‘Using social media to investigate young people’s drug use’.

Her research found that most young people get their information concerning drugs largely from

the media, including the internet and SNS. Analysis of SNS, forums, chatrooms and blogs,

together with focus groups, give an in-depth look into drug use knowledge and behaviours.

Jenny Simpson presents ‘Vulnerability and safeguarding: the social work ‘trump cards’ for

the digital age’. This case study looks at the huge impact of the internet and social media on

social work with young people. The focus is on ethical issues and dilemmas around monitoring

and managing the online behaviour of adolescents.

Kandy Woodfield will present ‘Understanding the ethical implications of social media

research: findings from the New Social Media, New Social Sciences? Network of

methodological innovation’. The 400+ research professionals in the NSMNSS network were

polled for their views on the quality of ethics guidelines and the value of ethics panels. This paper

(written by Kandy and Dr. Janet Salmons) presents the findings of that research.

Roxanne Persaud, our ‘social reporter in residence’ will be tweeting throughout the day from

@commutiny and @TheSRAOrg. We encourage you all to Tweet during the conference using the

#SRAconf hashtag. Please be aware that photographs from the event will be published online

concerns about this.
