Description:
Ethical Open Source Investigation: A Deep Dive into Key Skills is a two-part
methodology course which teaches open source skills whilst foregrounding a
critical and reflexive approach to open source investigations. You will learn
practical skills to evaluate social media content, online databases and
satellite images, whilst integrating considerations of ethics, care and
power.
This material is developed from the University of Cambridge's Open Source
Investigation for Academics course (which was co-designed by Dr Ella
McPherson, Ray Adams Row Farr, Nik Yasikov and Laetitia Maurat) and inspired
by the university's collaboration with Amnesty International as part of their
Digital Verification Corps - an international network of universities where
students trained in open source investigation contribute to Amnesty's human
rights fact-finding. It brings together long-standing academic considerations
of positionality, reflexivity and ethics with a practical introduction to the
methodologies of open source investigation.
This exciting opportunity to engage with Open Source Investigation is open to
anyone interested in using OSI in any part of their work, whether a PhD
student, Early Career Researcher, researcher in the field or academic. This is
an intensive course and there is preparation and follow-up work expected from
you. If you are unable to commit to the course in its entirely (2 days over 2
weeks) then you are unable to apply.
This short course will be facilitated online.
