[CW03:] Assessing the confluence of digital and physical meetings: a toolbox
for digital media research
This participatory workshop will bring together scholars of science and
technology studies who share the aim to unmask the role of social media
platforms in meeting cultures evolving within communities of knowing.
Knowledge-intensive professionals, including engineers, consultants, software
developers, scientists, doctors and educators, organise ritualised and
hierarchised meetings to network and exchange ideas. Such external meetings
have long occurred in physical spaces, where alignments are negotiated and
assemblages are formed. However, numerous digital spaces enabling semi-public
encounters emerged following the rise of social media platforms. This workshop
critically examines how such platforms transform meeting cultures within
communities of knowing. Knowledge-intensive professionals keep meeting in
physical settings, such as hotels, universities and company premises, but
increasingly interact with one another on social media platforms before,
during and after external meetings. Physical proximity is often extended by
remote presence and collaboration. Many professionals thus balance physical
travel with engagement in digital spaces. The workshop will deliver a toolbox
for unravelling the various digital practices surrounding meetings in
knowledge-intensive professions. Ethical guidelines for internet research and
strategies for integrating internet research techniques with traditional
social science methods will be furthermore discussed. In the first part of the
workshop, attendees will become familiar with recent internet research
techniques, such as digital ethnography and the walkthrough method. In the
second part, participants will form small groups to develop methodologies for
understanding meetings within the physical-digital continuum. Participants are
encouraged to pre-circulate statements on their current research projects.
The workshop will be held on 27 July at 11am. The location of the workshop can
