5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Much of the research discussed in this book received funding from UK Research Councils and from other sources, and for this I m very grateful. Thanks to funders as follows: The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), which supported Understanding Social Media Monitoring (Grant AH/ L003775) with a Research Fellowship. This funding made possible the research discussed in Chapter 6, some of the research discussed in Chapter 8, and the writing of this book. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), which supported Digital Data Analysis, public engagement and the social life of methods (Grant ) and Public Engagement and Cultures of Expertise (Grant EPSRC-CCN2013-LEEDS), discussed in Chapter 4. Various small grants from the University of Leeds, including: HEIF V (Higher Education Innovation Fund, Reference ) IGNITE (References and ) The Creative and Cultural Industries Exchange (Reference ). These grants funded interviews in social media data mining companies, discussed in Chapter 5, and focus groups with social media users, discussed in Chapter 7. v
6 vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Some of the material in this book is derived in part from journal articles, although it has all been cut, edited, re-worked and re-purposed for inclusion here, so it may no longer be recognisable as originating in these spaces. I m grateful to the publishers of the following journals (and articles) for permission to develop this material here: Kennedy, H. (2012) Perspectives on sentiment analysis, Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, 56(4): (Chapter 5), copyright Taylor & Francis/Society, available online at: tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/ / Kennedy, H., Elgesem, D. and Miguel, C. (2015) On fairness: user perspectives on social media data mining, Convergence: the international journal of research into new media technologies 21(4): PAGES (Chapter 7), copyright Sage Publications, available online at: doi: / Kennedy, H., Moss, G., Birchall, C. and Moshonas, S. (2015) Balancing the potential and problems of digital data through action research: methodological reflections, Information Communication and Society 18(2): (Chapter 4), copyright Taylor & Francis/Society, available online at: doi/abs/ / x ?journalcode=rics20#. Vel0Y854jGt My AHRC Fellowship funded research visits to some of the best places in the world for thinking about the issues this book addresses. I m very grateful to the following people for arranging visits to the following places: Principal Researcher Nancy Baym, Microsoft Research Social Media Collective, spring Professor José van Dijck, Comparative Media Studies, University of Amsterdam, summer Professor Helen Nissenbaum, Media, Culture and Communication, New York University, spring I m extremely thankful that so many people, including social media users and employees in social media data mining companies, in public sector and in other organisations, have been willing to spend time talking to me and my researchers about their experiences with mining social data. Without them this book would not have been possible. Another group of
7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS vii people without whom this book wouldn t exist are the many collaborators, post-doctoral research fellows and research assistants with whom I have worked and who have contributed to my thinking and to the words on these pages. These include: Christopher Birchall, Stephen Coleman, Ivar Dusseljee, Dag Elgesem, Julie Firmstone, Jan-Japp Heine, James Hennessey, Patrick McKeown, Cristina Miguel, Stylianos Moshonas, Giles Moss, Matthew Murphy, Katy Parry, Christoph Raetzsch, Stuart Russell, Helen Thornham and Nancy Thumim. Thanks to all of you. During the time I ve been writing this book, there have been many exchanges, presentations, seminars, workshops and conferences around the world which have helped me to develop my ideas. I m especially grateful to these people for stimulating conversations, online and off: David Beer, David Hesmondhalgh, Noortje Marres, Thomas Poell, José van Dijck and the many brilliant thinkers at the Digital Methods Initiative at the University of Amsterdam and at the Microsoft Research Social Media Collective in Boston, USA. And a big thank you to all the folks at the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield, my former and current employers, two great universities in two great Yorkshire cities, who helped me finish this book in all sorts of ways. Everybody knows some Daves, and if you re lucky, you know some good ones. I do. David Hesmondhalgh (always a supportive, critical friend) and David Beer took the time to read a draft of this manuscript and to provide really helpful comments, and I m very grateful to both them for that. My favourite Dave, though, is the one I live with. He drew the picture on the front of this book with a pencil and a piece of paper no datafication there and he learnt a bit about data in society in the process. He puts up with me and provides the jokes. Thanks Dave. Friends and family make writing books bearable, and I m grateful to every one of them who bothered to say how s the book?, especially those who said it repeatedly. This, my friends, is how the book is. The things that interest my kids are wonderfully different from the things that this book is about, and that more than anything keeps me happy and sane, so thank you for being yourselves Pearl and Lonnie. I would wait excitedly with you for the delivery of a packet of loom bands or a special edition videogame book forever. I end with an acknowledgement of the local mums and some dads who form invisible networks of support the world over and keep it all going with love and laughs. This is for you (but you don t have to read it).
