This one-day interdisciplinary conference aims to increase understanding and promote discussion of methods and tools for the analysis of social media as well as the ethical issues involved in such research. It will introduce research that is currently being done both here in Glasgow and around the UK, and will allow participants to make connections across disciplinary lines. We hope the event will spark ideas for future research or for different approaches to ongoing work. The conference is funded by the College of Social Sciences Researcher Development Fund.

- Stevie Docherty (s.docherty.1@research.gla.ac.uk)

Location
The Adam Smith Building is located at University’s Gilmorehill Campus in the West End. It is a five-minute walk from Hillhead underground station on Byres Road, the Main Gate on University Avenue, and most of the surrounding bus stops. Alternatively, the building is well served by taxis. We regret that the Adam Smith Lecture Theatre is not wheelchair accessible.
Walking directions from Hillhead underground
On exiting the underground station, turn right onto Byres Road. Take the first right onto Great George Street. At the top of Great George Street, turn right between Urban Studies and the Hetherington Building. The Adam Smith Building is located just ahead.
Walking directions from the Main Gate
Cross the road and walk towards the Library. Immediately past the Library building, turn left at the bicycle racks and follow the corridor round behind the Library.
