    UCL Social Media Project


    Funded through a Grand Challenges small grant (Intercultural Interaction) Project aims to foster:
    greater networking new collaborative research new research/teaching/clinical practice

    Interested in social media both as an object of study and as a new tool for research interactions By end of this year we want to have collaborative and interdisciplinary funding proposals/pilot projects Twitter hashtag: #UCLSMP

    Networking
    What research is already going on at UCL on SM? How can we facilitate better sharing of research and best practice?
    Events? Blogs? Twitter?

    How can we best collaborate on SM research with organisations outside of UCL? Also want this network to facilitate new interactions, collaborations and projects
    Twitter hashtag: #UCLSMP

    New research projects on social media


    What next.? Scope for more interdisciplinary research drawing on anthropology, psychology, public policy, geography, sociology, digital humanities, computer/medical/natural sciences How do people use it? How is it changing the way people interact? How is it challenging notions of privacy, democratic participation, public communication? What do you want to do?

    New research practice using social media


    How can we use and integrate SM into our research practice? Can social media foster new research/clinical interactions at UCL?
    not just SM for better dissemination of research or to enroll participants as research subjects but to collaborate and engage with public and others who might challenge our assumptions and help shape the research questions, process and outputs

    Could we move towards a model of open research?
