    Description

    R-Shief has been invited to collaborate on a joint project on social media and the revolution in Egypt and Tunisia between the American University in Cairo’s (AUC) Access to Knowledge for Development Center and Harvard's Berkman Center, with support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada. This two-phase project will run through October 2012 and includes the following activities: theoretical grounding and literature review, collection of online data tools and refinement, building community of scholars, structures interviews with activists. Phase II would focus on community building, refinement and sharing of data sets, hypothesis testing and more in-depth research that builds off of Phase I learning and outreach. R-Shief will build portals on the existing R-Shief.org that will enable international collaborators to run web crawls and exchange data sets. R-Shief will also build visualizers for the data and work with AUC and Berkman to build custom data models. Among R-Shief’s contribution to the research objectives is to provide various web analytics and multiple methodologies to study the social significance of digital structure.
