The Case for Unpermissioned Research on Social Media

Jan. 23, 2025, 12:30 to 2 p.m.

Join us for an insightful panel with Ethan Zuckerman as we explore the evolving role of social media in the American public sphere. Our ability to understand this new space is constrained by actions powerful platform companies take that create obstacles to researchers who seek to study them. Unpermissioned research is the idea that researchers can practically and ethically study social media even when social media platforms would prefer not to be scrutinized. What insights can we gain when we approach social media with careful, close, and adversarial research methods? Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion!
