In today’s digital age, the internet and social media platforms have become indispensable data sources for research across various disciplines. However, this vast landscape brings forth a multitude of ethical considerations that researchers must navigate with caution and integrity.

Join us for a session with the Social & Behavioral Sciences (SBS) Institutional Review Board (IRB) for a presentation that will delve into the intricate domain of internet and social media research ethics, shedding light on the fundamental principles and best practices essential for conducting responsible and ethical research in this area. Key topics include: application of regulatory and ethical principles, informed consent, privacy, data collection and ethical dilemmas.

This event is open to faculty, research staff, and graduate students in all divisions.

Presented by the Social Sciences Research Center (SSRC).

Jenny Harris

PhD Candidate, Art History, UChicago

Who will be presenting the paper titled:

“Ray Johnson, Sybil Shearer, and the Taoist Collages”

Discussant: Lucien Sun

PhD Candidate, Art History, UChicago

Abstract:

In 1955, Ray Johnson, an artist based in New York who would go on to become a pioneer of mail art, sent a group of 30 “Taoist Collages” to choreographer Sybil Shearer, then living in Northbrook, Illinois. Previously unknown to scholars of Johnson’s work, the collages were discovered in Shearer’s attic and subsequently purchased by the Art Institute of Chicago in 2022. In this talk, I’ll discuss the various ways the Taoist collages tell a new story about Johnson’s ties to the world of dance. By presenting this work jointly at the RAVE and VMPEA workshops, I hope to solicit feedback and suggestions about how I might develop a more thorough account of Johnson’s engagement with East Asian culture and ideas.
