New Media and Political Participation Workshop December 2013

 

10-11 December 2013 Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism Faculty of Social sciences, Charles University in Prague

The purpose of this workshop was to exchange views on the concept of political participation in the Web 2.0 environment, particularly vis-à-vis the social networking sites, and share opinions on the various methodological challenges related to empirical research in this still emerging territory. The workshop brought together a group of international and local scholars as well as Ph.D. students who had the opportunity to debate conceptual frameworks, research strategies and “best practices”, data collection techniques as well as ethical issues surrounding the contemporary academic explorations of online participation.
