About the author<\/h4>\n
\n

Kathryn Murphy is a doctoral student in the Communications & Computing Research Centre (CCRC<\/a>) where she is pursuing a PhD in Media focusing on celebrity culture in\u00a0YouTube and social media. \u00a0Kathryn\u2019s supervisors are: Ruth Deller<\/a>\u00a0(Director of Studies) and Kerry McSeveny<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kathryn is in the first year of her PhD in C3RI and documents her PhD journey on her blog KDM – Musings of a PhD student<\/a>\u00a0(where this post was first published). Kathryn recently delivered a paper at\u00a0the 3rd\u00a0Annual METHOD conference and in this post she offers her reflections on the experience.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Wednesday 3rd May, the Cultural, Communications and Computing Research Institute at Sheffield Hallam University\u00a0held its third METHOD conference \u2013 an annual event where\u00a0students\u00a0and academics within the SHU research community get together to share thoughts and ideas about the ways in which we develop our methods within research. The organisation team presented the event as an \u2018anti-conference\u2019, rejecting the notion of simply sharing findings in favour of articulating methodological processes, challenging traditional approaches and developing ideas through discussions spanning an array of disciplines.<\/p>\n

I presented a 15-minute paper on navigating ethical issues in Internet research where I discussed some of the challenges posed to researchers by the constantly evolving nature of the Internet. In my paper I explored some of the key ethical issues and dilemmas I am facing in preparing to conduct my research, as well as highlighting some of the key texts, guidelines and current debates in online research ethics that have\u00a0helped me form my own conclusions.<\/p>\n

The preparation for my paper took a lot longer than expected and I ended up\u00a0with a much narrower focus than initially intended as I was very aware of the time constraints with a 15-minute presentation. Originally I had planned to cover four key areas of ethics that are complicated by researching online, however in the end I decided to just focus on one \u2013 informed consent \u2013 as this could be explored in depth but linked closely to the other ethical considerations so I could mention them briefly too.<\/p>\n

The presentation itself went reasonably well and I felt a lot more confident than I had expected, especially when I got into the swing of things; however I ran\u00a0out of time and\u00a0had to rush through the last few slides. On reflection, I think I could have planned the time better so I didn\u2019t have to rush through important points at then end so this is definitely a point to\u00a0improve upon for future presentations.<\/p>\n

As a whole I think it was a really valuable experience and a great opportunity to develop my presentation skills, share my ideas and meet other researchers within my institution. I left the day feeling really inspired and proud to be part of such a diverse research community and\u00a0I\u2019m really pleased I pushed myself to take part as I need all the practice I can get at presenting before my RF2 comes along in October.<\/p>\n
