We are appointing three Undergraduate Research Associates to work with us on a project looking at anonymous social media over this academic year. The three RAs will spend a total of 20 days each on the project, spread across specific weeks in October, December, January and May. They will be responsible for conducting a participant observation within Yik Yak and possibly other anonymous social media platforms, collecting data directly from these applications, coding it using specialist software, and writing four brief accounts of their findings. 

The end-of-project findings from the AHRC-funded Artcasting research have been published.

Closer to home we'll be speaking in Malta, Leeds, Milton Keynes, Spain and Croatia.
