The Norwegian version of the edited book “Mange ulike metoder” (~Many Methods) is now out with Gyldendal Publishers. It was edited by Katrine Fangen and Ann-Mari Sellerberg. It will also be out shortly in a Swedish edition. The book consists of sixteen chapters describing various existing research methods to students. The aim is to introduce different methods as such but also to give inspiration to try out, remix and combine them. My contribution deals with various approaches to analysing texts.

This is a video version (slides + voiceover) of the talk from Transforming Audiences 3.

These are the slides for last week’s presentation at Westminster University and the Transforming Audiences 3 conference. It is about the use of Twitter for activism in the Libyan revolution. You get a basic idea about the conclusions from the text on the slides towards the end. Please contact me if you want more on this.

This week, I am attending Transforming Audiences 3 at the University of Westminster in London. The event was put together by a group headed by David Gauntlett, who eventually failed to show up at his own conference due to having a baby (congratulations to him!). The keynotes, featuring prominent internet public researchers such as Nancy Baym, Jean Burgess and Patricia G. Lange, are all great (see conference hashtag #ta3), and the sessions cover a number of really really interesting topics.

We will give our presentation today in the “Politics and Citizenship” session. The title is Twitter Revolutions and Digital Uprisings: Mapping the #feb17 hashtag. The paper is on how Twitter has been used during the ongoing revolution in Libya, and we use social network analysis together with qualitative close readings to get an understanding of how this kind of activism actually works.
