A little bit of history…
About a million years ago, I connected with a UK-based project that was a collaboration of the NatSen, the National Center for Research Methods,
the Oxford Internet Institute, and SAGE Publishing. Blurring the Boundaries: New Social Media, New Social Science.
NSMNSS convened a series of working meetings and online events to hash out thorny issues about methods and ethics in a changing digital world of research.
Unlike projects that include a narrow collection of people within a particular slice of the research universe, NSMNSS was inclusive and operated from
the premise that blurred boundaries, whether national or institutional, disciplinary or methodological, allowed us to understand the issues more fully.
I met Prof. Luke Sloan through NSMNSS. Later, I contributed to a wonderful Handbook of Social Media Research Methods that he co-edited with Anabel Quan-Haase. I am delighted to get together with him in this research conversation! Our work spans a range of online methods,
so we will honor the inclusive mission of NSMNSS while we consider present and future issues for online researchers.
Blurring the boundaries?

issues faced by researchers negotiating the
new research landscape of online social
