Heightened distrust in traditional forms of governance and mainstream 
media industries has given rise to alternative repertoires of action 
that now occupy a prominent place in public consciousness across the 
globe. In this context, unaffiliated individuals and collectives have 
come to play an important role in articulating various forms of 
political and aesthetic expression, whether in physical sites (as in the 
case of street art and parkour), on virtual platforms (blogging, 
mockumentaries, fansubbing), or across hybrid environments that combine 
embodied and digital practices, as in the case of documentary 
film-making. In producing and disseminating such citizen media content, 
engaged individuals and collectives seek to reclaim public and digital 
spaces in pursuit of noninstitutionalized agendas, effect aesthetic or 
socio-political change, and express personal desires and aspirations.

Conducting research in this fluid, fast changing and sometimes high risk 
environment poses numerous methodological and ethical challenges that 
are yet to be adequately explored. This event will offer a platform for 
discussing these challenges and sharing research experiences that 
involve different forms and platforms of citizen media.
