Dear all,
My research team and I are interested in designing a social media campaign to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. I have not been very successful in my search of existing campaigns, both within and beyond Australia. Is anyone aware of, or conducting their own research, in the areas of social media and stigma (whether it be for mental illness or any other health issue)? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dear AoIR friends and colleagues,
(with apologies in advance to any of you who experience this as a form of
unwanted spam. My reason for sending this to the AoIR list is that the book
and its revisions are so deeply indebted to AoIR colleagues, the work of the
ethics committee, and conference presentations and discussions that AoIR
seems to me the book's first and most natural home.)
The second (substantially revised and thoroughly updated) edition of my
book, Digital Media Ethics (Polity Press) will come out later this year, I'm
very happy to say. I've appended the blurb at the end of this note.
In the meantime, however, Polity would like me to develop a list of possible
adopters of the book: the possible adopters will then be sent an inspection
copy of the book for review.
So: if you would like to be included in the list, please send me your
indication of interest along with exact contact details - name, address,
email address, and phone number - so that Polity can contact you as needed.
(You can send these to either my gmail account or UiO account:
<c.m.ess at media.uio.no>)
Along these lines, if anyone has recommendations for journals that would be
interested in reviewing the new book, I would very much appreciate that
information as well.
Thanks in advance, and best in the meantime,
-charles

The blurb:
The original edition of this accessible and interdisciplinary textbook was
the first to consider the ethical issues of digital media from a global
perspective, introducing ethical theories from multiple cultures. This
second edition has been thoroughly updated to cover current research and
scholarship, and recent developments and technological changes, particularly
the dominance of Internet access via mobile devices. The new edition also
benefits from extensively updated case-studies and pedagogical material,
incorporating more recent scholarship as well as examples of ?watershed?
events and developments, including privacy policy changes on Facebook,
Google+, and others, in relation to on-going changes in privacy law in the
U.S., the E.U., and Asia.
New for the second edition are sections on friendship online,
democratization, and ?citizen journalism? and its implications for
traditional journalistic ethics. With a significantly updated section on the
?ethical toolkit?, this book will also introduce students to prevailing
ethical theories and illustrate how they are applied to central issues in
digital media ethics. Topics covered include privacy, copyright, pornography
and violence, and the ethics of cross-cultural communication online.
Digital Media Ethics is student- and classroom-friendly: each topic and
theory is interwoven throughout the volume with detailed sets of questions
that foster careful reflection upon, writing about, and discussion of these
issues and their possible resolutions. Each chapter includes additional
resources and suggestions for further research and writing.

Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Int. Journal of Human-Computer Studies
Perspectives on participatory HCI research: Beginnings, middles and endings
http://di.ncl.ac.uk/participation/special-issue/
**************************
Scope
**************************
Participation is a research area of sustained interest to the HCI community. Traditionally, the term has been used to suggest a democratized approach to the design of technology that calls for end-user involvement in the design process. This may vary from researchers inviting specific users or stakeholders to participate in design workshops, through to long term engagements with communities to define research questions and study deployments of new technologies. As HCI is an interdisciplinary field, however, there are multiple understandings of what participation in research might mean, from subjects and disciplines such as social science, participatory and performance arts, international development, and action research. Beyond these influences, there is also increased pressure from funding bodies and public institutions to involve a wider spectrum of the public in academic research. The convergence of these factors has drawn attention to the potential benefits and challenges
, both theoretical and practical of involving users and the public in HCI research.
While user, citizen or stakeholder participation in design processes can offer great insight into the applicability of technological interventions in certain contexts, the HCI community would benefit from critically reflecting on how participation is planned, managed, and sustained. The mundane yet still significant details of how participatory HCI research is performed are rarely documented and discussed by the community. The coming together of multiple perspectives from different disciplines ? some of which have existing frameworks, some debate the very notion of participation ? provides an opportunity for HCI researchers to reflect critically on how people are involved in design processes. Specifically, we call attention to the following three phases of performing participatory HCI research:
How we begin:
How do researchers establish relationships with communities, participants, or users and stakeholders prior to commencing participatory research? Who here determines the research context and the setting it takes place in, or what research questions are formed? Furthermore, what agendas, skills and assumptions do researchers bring to a participatory project? Why are certain participants selected or invited to take part over others?
How we reflex and reflect:
How do researchers reflect upon and manage the complicated processes of participation and engagement while working with groups or communities? How are researchers and participants given space to document and reflect upon the activities they perform and how does this inform the research or design process throughout? How do we understand our practice when busy doing it and can we develop strategies to elicit generative reflections on practice as it is enacted? Furthermore, is it possible to document participatory work along the way without skewing the process itself?
How we end:
How do researchers determine whether deployments or interventions should be sustained beyond the formal completion of research, and what are the practical challenges of leaving a legacy of a participatory project? Is sustainability or legacy always positive outcome of participatory research, and are there ways of empirically understanding transformations within a context beyond the uptake or success of a specific technology or intervention?
**************************
Topics
**************************
This special issue aims to present a set of high quality, thought provoking, original research articles that address one or more of these stages through topics including, but not limited to:
-- Empirical studies collaborating with organizations and communities in the design or evaluation of new technologies.
-- Studies of participatory HCI that target specific populations or communities, such as older people, young people, activist groups, charities, rural communities, among others.
-- Theoretical and conceptual frameworks that unpack the questions and related problems of participation as a process.
-- Critical reflections on existing and historical examples of participation in HCI.
-- Strategies for documenting and eliciting reflection from both researchers and participants engaged in research.
-- Considerations of the ethical, moral and political implications of designing technologies with communities of users and stakeholders.
-- Interdisciplinary perspectives on participatory HCI research.
-- Case studies discussing experiences of beginning, reflecting on or sustaining participatory HCI research.
It is anticipated that submissions will tackle at least one stage of participatory research/design processes in use, as described above, and that accepted papers will comprise examples from each phase. Papers addressing theoretical issues will only be considered where the contribution is exceptional.

Hi there. My name is Benjamin Gleason and I'm a 2nd year PhD student at
Michigan State University. I'm currently doing a study that explores the
digital literacy practices and identity performances of high school aged
Twitter users. The study design is composed of two stages-- the first will
be a discourse analysis of tweets and the second will be semi-structured
interview about their Twitter practices. I've received IRB approval for my
study and am ready to recruit and enroll participants, who I've been
following on Twitter for the past 4-6 weeks or so.
Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of interesting identity-work happening and
would like to get the young people I've been following to participate in
the study. I invited a few of the participants to join the study, but the
response has been limited.
I was hoping to find participants through Twitter who may be interested in
participating, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for how to recruit participants
(aged 15-18) to join my study. The requirements of the study *seem* pretty
minimal-- only one (or maybe two) interviews about their Twitter use. But
I'm having a hard time getting young people to participate. Your help is
appreciated.
Thanks and have a great day :)

Very nice data ! never saw it before...
the presence of "rape" in the top ten (india for instance) is quite
frightening...
This data is bound to server-side information (pornhub - #3 in the world).
Best,
Antoine
