Graduate Seminar on Research Methods on Internet & Society

Amid all the noise of the start of fall semester, Eszter Hargittai and I are launching a new experiment: a course taught jointly (and separately) at Northwestern University and at Harvard University on research methods in Internet & Society. We’ll post as much of the material as makes sense to a publicly-accessible wiki. Students can register for credit at either school. In the Harvard version, we’ll do 6 of the 10 sessions joined by video-conference. The other 4 sessions at Harvard will be just with HU students. In part, we will work in these extra sessions toward planning a General Education course to be offered for undergraduates on Internet & Society in 2010-11 by Berkman Center faculty from around the university. If you’re a Harvard or Northwestern graduate student, we’d especially love to hear from you. The course starts later this month. I’m sure I’ll be learning a lot myself from social scientists, computer scientists and others who are blazing new trails with methods for studying life and other phenomena on the Net.

Here’s the syllabus for my fall freshman seminar, called the “Law of the Internet,” taught at Harvard College, in H20 Playlist form. Comes with an OPML output, too. (Wondering what H20 is? Check out Go With the Flow.)
