Hello everyone!

I’m part of a research group that is working on developing a framework for the ethical conduct of research with online communities; the framework is intended for use by online communities, researchers, and institutional review boards. To help develop the framework, we're looking for members of the Wikipedia community interested in joining us for one or more participatory workshops.

(1) If this research piques your interest, you can learn more at our Meta-Wiki page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Beyond_the_Individual:_Community-Engaged_Design_and_Implementation_of_a_Framework_for_Ethical_Online_Communities_Research. Consider leaving any feedback you have on the research talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Beyond_the_Individual:_Community-Engaged_Design_and_Implementation_of_a_Framework_for_Ethical_Online_Communities_Research; your questions, concerns, and ideas are greatly appreciated and will only make this work better in the long run.

(2) We are looking for 6-12 participants for our first workshop. If you're interested in joining, please leave us your email here https://umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cBiSeHJoJe0pjlY, and we'll reach out personally with more information. Or, if you prefer, leave a comment on the research talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Beyond_the_Individual:_Community-Engaged_Design_and_Implementation_of_a_Framework_for_Ethical_Online_Communities_Research, and we can follow up via Wiki.

Cheers, Matthew
