We’re conducting a research study about #BlackTwitter!

We are no longer recruiting for this study, but if you have any questions about it, feel free to reach out to Shamika.Goddard@colorado.edu.

Who are we?
Shamika Goddard, a Ph.D. student and Casey Fiesler, assistant professor, both in Information Science at University of Colorado Boulder. We study technology, ethics, and social justice.

What is the study about?
We’re interested in learning more about what Black Twitter is, how
people use it, how it might support a community, and how people who participate might feel about outsiders (such as researchers or journalists) using information from that space.

What do we need?
We are looking for people who are 18+ and participate in Black Twitter to
interview. Interviews can occur in the medium you prefer—e.g., phone, voice chat, video chat (though we will only record audio), or text/IM chat. Interviews will last between 30 and 60 minutes. Participants will be compensated for their time with a $20 Amazon gift card. This study has been approved by the University of Colorado Boulder Institutional Review Board.
