_24th June 2019_ | Association of Internet Researchers (#AoIR) Symposium 
- Below the Radar: Private Groups, Locked Platforms and Ephemeral Content

The AoIR Symposium welcomes contributions that address these themes, 
including but not limited to the following questions:

- How do ethnographic and qualitative methods allow us to study such spaces?
- How have quantitative methods been utilised to study these 
environments – and with the closure of APIs, what new methods have emerged?
- To what extent, and for whom, is scraping viable in a “post-API era”?
- What ethical questions arise in relation to inclusion in semi-private 
spheres?
- How do these spheres specify and connect to public discourse?
- How might we approach questions of data validity and 
representativeness even as it becomes increasingly difficult to define 
the target universe of these conversations?

Submissions are due by _20 February 2019_

Anyway, the fun for Internet Researchers is not going to over on Monday.
