BYOR

Bring Your Own Research Workshop
BYOR is a research workshop for CDSC affiliates and fellow travelers at Northwestern convened by Aaron Shaw. Participants present research-in-progress and provide feedback, accountability, and support to each other in weekly meetings. Most members of the group are affiliates of the Media, Technology & Society and Technology & Social Behavior programs at Northwestern and study online communities, collective action, organizations, collaboration, and related topics.

Get connected/involved
We currently meet every Monday 10am-11:30am in Room 2-419 of the Frances Searle Building on the Northwestern University Campus.

Format and expectations

 * Please circulate your work by Friday.
 * Please submit any comments or written feedback by Sunday afternoon.
 * Each discussion will begin with an around-the-table where everyone offers one comment on the work that was circulated (after our usual around-the-table updates).

Snacks
Food restrictions the current quarter: no soy, no meat, label/warn re: sesame or nuts.

Plan on food for ~8 people and we tend to try and have at least one option that is not super sugary. The budget if you're planning on being reimbursed is $50; receipts go to Jordan Dues.
