The use of publicly available social media data promises to provide meaningful insights into a number of research programs, but the use of such data introduces pressing ethical questions. This panel will discuss whether this should be understood as human subject research, what governance structures are best equipped to support the responsible conduct of such research, and how researchers can negotiate potential privacy concerns and other risks associated with conducting research on these publicly available datasets.

Panelists:

• Dr. Michael Zimmer (Professor of Computer Science and Director of Center for Data, Ethics, and Society; Marquette University)

• Dr. Joseph Bayer (Associate Professor of Communication, core faculty member of the Translational Data Analytics Institute, and Director of the Mobile Social Cognition Lab; The Ohio State University)

• Dr. Jesse Fox (Associate Professor of Communication and Director of the Virtual Environment, Communication Technology, and Online Research [VECTOR] Lab, The Ohio State University)
