DYR

"Do Your Research" - a bring your own research workshop at UW
DYR is a research workshop for UW currently being run by Kaylea Champion, Salt Hale and Nate TeBlunthuis. Participants present research-in-progress and provide feedback, accountability, and support to each other in weekly meetings. We tend to study social media, online communities, collective action, organizations, collaboration, and related topics. We embrace a wide range of methods. Our focus is to support one another in our research projects.

Format and expectations

 * If you are circulating work, we welcome all projects in any stage, but we ask that it be unpublished work in some stage where the group's feedback will likely matter to you. No formatting requirements, but please share a minimum of 500-1000 words (if you're at a very early stage of a project) to give the group something to engage with. Longer pieces are welcome too.
 * If you circulate written work, please do so no less than 1 business day prior to our meeting. (Note that this means Friday for a Monday meeting).
 * Instead of circulating written work, you can also do a presentation. If it's early stage work, you might think of this as a 5-10 minute pitch for the project. If it's something that's further along, you could do a longer presentation. No matter what, I recommend limiting presentations to an absolute maximum of 15 minutes.
 * At times, we have had short (20 minutes total) and long (45 minutes total) discussion slots. Please sign up for a time slot that you believe is appropriate. If you're not sure what's appropriate, you should ask.
 * Each discussion will usually begin with an around-the-table where everyone offers one comment on the work that was circulated (after any other updates).
