Episode 3: A question for the culture

22, April, 2025

Cultural engagement and participation often leaves me feeling good, but this week (in connection with The Magic of Adolecence) we are talking about the evidence to support that feeling. From cultural pride providing support for oppressed groups, to cultural knowledge promoting positive wellbeing and development, family and community cultures seem to exist for a reason.

Episode 1: Open Source Research: An Ethical Debate

11 March, 2025

This week we looked at the ethical debate on collecting data from the internet. Open-source data use has been a debate since the dawn of the digital age; how does informed consent come into play? How can we correctly understand and contextualize public online posts? The internet is full of information and diverse perspectives protected by the relative anonymity of the online world, however, it is also full of deceit and missinformation. Evans et. al (2008)
