I have attached the essay prompt. You are expected to create an interview that answers the question how do people engage with Instagram (or similar image-based social networks)? You are expected to use at least three of the core readings listed in the module description. The following is the module explanation as a frame: Module description: Successful research projects of any kind have two components: a good research question, and an appropriate method for answering it. is module is a blend of theoretical lectures and discussions on the epistemology and practice of (mostly qualitative) research as it encounters the digital, and it is the foundation upon which future modules, focused on quantitative research and specific digital tools, will build. The goal of the course is to give students an overview of and some practice in research methods, so that they can evaluate the role that research methods play in the academic literature they read during the course of their studies, as well as choose and apply appropriate methods for future research projects. Module aims To introduce to students the process and tools of research; To introduce the main research approaches in qualitative and quantitative research, with a focus on the former, and how they are applied to the digital domain. To train students on developing their own research question and matching it to the right method; To train students to think ethically about research. CORE READINGS MUST BE USED: Bryman, A. (2012).
