The aim of this module is to explore methods for social inquiry in contexts where offline and online social worlds are increasingly intertwined, and often inseparable. The module will address the opportunities and challenges of 1) adapting, or digitising, existing qualitative and quantitative methods for the sociological study of digital and digitally mediated contexts, and of 2) ) applying new methodological techniques that these contexts themselves can provide. These discussions will engage with the practical and ethical issues that arise in these emerging contexts.
