FIRST CALL FOR POSITION PAPERS

Workshop on Mixed Methods for Studying Interactions in Networked 
Environments

In conjunction with the
14th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (ECSCW 
2015), Oslo, Norway, September 19-23

INTRODUCTION
Researchers in CSCW have for a long time used traditional methods for 
data collection and analysis (e.g. ethnography) where a focus has been 
to develop an interdisciplinary research approach with methods from the 
social sciences to understand work and to inform the design of computer 
supported cooperative work. More recently, the CSCW community has become 
increasingly interested in social and crowd computing, to understand how 
certain phenomena play out at scale, often addressed by using social 
network analysis (SNA). This workshop will heighten the awareness of the 
need for more empirical studies of social and crowd computing using 
mixed methods in CSCW for better grounding of network level (e.g. SNA) 
data. It is the combination of different methods where one is 
quantitative and the other qualitative that is the focus of the 
workshop.

This is also a controversial theme and thus invites different positions 
as topics for discussion, which will be based on the participants’ 
experiences with mixed methods research from ongoing and past projects.

Guiding questions can include but are not limited to:

-- What are the benefits to be anticipated when using SNA together with 
a qualitative contextual method for analyzing social interaction in a 
networked environment?

-- What type of methodological design will support the integration of 
SNA and case studies?

-- How do different sampling procedures facilitate multilevel analyses 
with SNA and micro/macro layers?

-- How can ethnography be pursued in networked environments?

-- Learning to become an Internet ethnographer requires new skills and 
competencies; what are they, and what methods and software tools are 
available?

-- Ethical issues in being an ethnographer in an online community; 
possibilities and bottlenecks for collecting and analyzing data
