Its embarassing because my methods are so low-tech. I literally went to the Twitter feeds of each org and copied the 10 most recent original tweets into a spreadsheet. Hence the call for someone with data-scraping skills at the end.
My background is: I’m a teacher, run a podcast on Education, looking to transition to a more impactful career, have a degree in Mathematics. Any research skills I have are self-taught.
I don’t have a specific vision for a project at the moment but would very much be interested in doing a larger study on EA and Twitter. I’d be interested in projects that i) allow EAs and orgs to better form social media strategies and ii) build my research skills & credibility.
Hi Stan,
This is great! Some questions:
How did you get the data to do this research?
Do you have access to a sample of Twitter (e.g.”Twitter firehouse”), or know people who do?
What is your background and interests in further research, do you have a specific vision or project in mind?
If funded, would you be interested in doing a broader, impartial study of EA and Twitter discourse?
