The Living with Personal Data project has just kicked off. We have appointed a Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr Ashleigh Watson, to begin working on the project. While we are waiting for our ethics approval, Ashleigh is updating our literature review. In conjunction with the Vitalities Lab led by Deborah Lupton, we are running several pop-up methods workshops in the next few months to experiment with the innovative methods we will be using in our fieldwork, which will include home visits with people living in Sydney, and hands-on workshops with diverse groups of Australians.

I’ve set up a new website for my project ‘Living with Personal Data’. I’ve reblogged this first post from this project here.

This is so cool! I wish I lived in australia, so I could see this. Are the workshops to explore new methods of popups or to see how people interact with them?

Thank you for your response. The workshops are about innovative social research methods. They are called ‘pop-ups’ because they don’t run to a regular schedule – they depend on factors like team members’ interests and visitors to the Vitalities Lab.
