Researchers needed to hand-code videos from popular video platforms. We particularly need native speakers of Russian, Portuguese, Spanish and languages of South Asia. Students will work with a professor and professional researcher to build a codebook, to watch and code videos, to develop hypotheses about how videos in different languages reflect different usage patterns. There are some opportunities for English speakers, but we particularly need native speakers of Russian, Portuguese, Spanish and languages of South Asia. What You Will Learn: Understanding how quantitative and qualitative methods work together in exploring novel data sets. Develop and test hypotheses about video content. Skills in developing qualitative research codebooks. Prerequisites: None. How to Apply: Please send your resume and letter, particularly specifying language and cultural knowledge to Professor Ethan Zuckerman (@email).
