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.
