This virtual workshop will bring together diverse perspectives from multiple disciplines to explore advantages, barriers, gaps, and opportunities in the future of scientific conferencing, with an emphasis on virtual and hybrid approaches, and the impact of these approaches on diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging (DEIAB) and environmental sustainability. The workshop will leverage and model innovative evidence-informed approaches in the development and implementation of the workshop, to showcase the potential of a virtual platform for engaging attendees. The workshop aims to facilitate interdisciplinary communication and networking opportunities, facilitate identification of cross-cutting scientific gaps regarding the role of behavioral and social science factors in scientific conferencing, and inform practical strategies for designing effective and engaging scientific conferences and meetings.

The purpose of the sociology program is to provide students with a broad-based preparation for graduate school or employment in a wide variety of social science-related fields. The sociology curriculum includes core courses and electives that convey a broad yet detailed understanding of the ways in which the social system operates. Students are exposed to a decidedly global perspective in the study of society. An undergraduate degree in sociology provides broad-based preparation for graduate study in sociology, social work, law school, criminology, government service at all levels, public relations, personnel, public opinion and market research, and other social science-related fields.
On January 28, student, staff and faculty from across UMass gathered to reflect on the changing expectations and implications they face in regard to data management--exploring the tensions and opportunities embedded in competing calls for transparency and confidentiality in social science research.
Three panelists with deep and varied experiences in developing and evaluating data management plans offered rich perspectives to spark participant reflection. ISSR Director Laurel Smith-Doerr (UMass Amherst/Sociology) offered a historical context of rising calls for transparency in public-funded research, and an inside look at the debates among scholars advising the NSF Program on Science, Technology and Society as it develops its new guidance for data management planning (DMP). Smith-Doerr emphasized the imperative for approaches to DMP to reflect the realities of each research project--protecting confidentiality and relations of trust where necessary, and rewarding researchers who invest resources in producing and publishing original data that others may subsequently use. Janet Vertesi (Princeton/Sociology) took up this thread, offering the concept of "data economies" to mark science's social relations, which shape whether and how researchers might share data. When the production of data relies on the currency of trust (among researchers or with subjects), it circulates (or does not) with a value intrinsic to those relationships. Without data management standards that recognize diverse data economies--and support a tiered approach to making data public--scientists struggle with contradictory imperatives enshrined in IRBs and DMPs, and in the pursuit of academic publishing and careers. Brian Schaffner (UMass Amherst/Political Science) shared his own experience as an NSF reviewer trying to apply general guidelines across divergent methodologies and disciplines, and as a principal investigator balancing these demands himself. As more and more projects draw on multiple (and not always public) data sources, Schaffner noted that the increasing trend among top-tier journals to require publication of data in the name of scientific progress can disadvantage researchers who cannot--for ethical or professional reasons--disclose their data.
These messages resonated strongly with the event's participants, including scholars in the social and natural sciences, as well as library and foundation relations staff who support grant preparation and data management. Key concerns related to the need for flexible and appropriate standards for data management as well as for adequate resources in grant budgets and time frames for the additional work needed to prepare data for public release. Others called attention to the particular squeeze that transparency requirements place on ethnographic and participatory researchers, as well as on early-career scholars under pressure to develop several publications from the data they collect. The panel thus called for active engagement with IRBs and funders, to develop responsible and feasible approaches to data management and sharing, and to align funding, technologies, and career pathways in a supportive institutional architecture for social science research. Vertesi noted opportunities to get involved in multiple groups grappling with these and other issues, including the Council for Big Data, Ethics and Society, which is currently calling for new members and offers a recent post and report on federal funders' data management plan requirements.
Becoming a great social studies teacher means gaining practical experience in a real classroom. Brockport has strong ties to the education community throughout the local area. Two of our three graduate programs require 150 observation hours in a middle/high classroom.
Why universities have extended the jurisdiction of their IRBs is discussed later in this report, but their having done so helps explain what prompted several professional organizations in spring 2000 to ask their members about their experiences with IRBs: they were hearing from researchers who were surprised and concerned that their work and that of their students, although not funded by a federal department or agency, had to be reviewed by the campus IRB.7 Responding to an informal survey of their members conducted by these organizations, some researchers gave good marks to their campus IRBs for drawing their attention to ethical issues and for improving their proposals. Others reported excessive delays in reviews of research proposals, failures of IRBs to follow federal regulations that apply to survey research and oral history, and members of IRBs having little familiarity with social science research compared to what they know about clinical and biomedical research. Some worried that the regulatory structure could improperly restrain freedom of inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge, and others claimed that it had done so already.
Behind these concerns lay deeper ones. Researchers complained about "inappropriately applying a model used for science and medicine to historical research," about members of IRBs "more used to medical experiments than political science ones," and about IRBs using "models from biomedical research for anthropology." The model that these researchers had in mind is one in which vulnerable human beings (for example, the ill, poor, or incarcerated) are often subject to invasive medical procedures. By contrast, the research of most social scientists involving human subjects does not pose a threat of physical or mental harm to the subjects, who are usually in possession of their full faculties and can be expected to safeguard their own interests. While the subjects of social science research may experience unease, discomfort, or embarrassment, these are risks, in the words of the Common Rule, that are "ordinarily encountered in daily life." For these scholars, then, the Common Rule was established and has evolved within a clinical and biomedical framework that does not fit their research, or fits it poorly.
These are not, it should be noted, new concerns. They echo issues raised in the late 1970s and early 1980s by scholars and organizations about the ethics of social science research and governmental regulation of that research through IRBs.10 But the fact that these concerns are familiar does not diminish their importance, for their recurrence, more than thirty years after the government announced its review requirements, points to continuing uncertainty about the credibility of IRBs when they review social science research.
According to the Common Rule, research is "a systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge" (102.d). Very little "systematic investigation" in the social sciences, and perhaps none in clinical and biomedical specialties, falls outside this definition. While the rule does not define "generalizable knowledge," and therefore leaves that task to each IRB, the work of most social scientists aims at furthering such knowledge. But the exceptions are not trivial. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, professors and students in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication who gather information for newspaper articles were concerned that IRB review of such activity would violate their rights of freedom of the press under the First Amendment. The faculty, the students, and the IRB agreed that most news stories do not contribute to generalizable knowledge and therefore are not subject to IRB review. News stories that use social science research methods such as public opinion polls and field experiments are subject to IRB review. At Stanford University, the research projects of honors or graduate students that "employ systematic data collection with the intent to contribute to generalizable knowledge" must be reviewed by the IRB; by contrast, research seminars that provide research training for students but do not contribute to generalizable knowledge are not subject to IRB review.15
