Leveraging or Exploiting? Breaking Through Data Colonialism and Ethnocentrism When Building a Diversity-Aware Social Platform
The extractive logic of data-driven technology and knowledge production has raised serious concerns. While this discourse initially focused on the impact on Western societies, attention is increasingly turning to the consequences for countries and communities in the (Global) Souths. Criticism has mainly focused on the activities of the private sector. In this paper, however, we argue that publicly funded knowledge and technology production projec…
Diversity and neocolonialism in Big Data research: Avoiding extractivism while struggling with paternalism
The extractive logic of Big Data-driven technology and knowledge production has raised serious concerns. While most criticism initially focused on the impacts on Western societies, attention is now increasingly turning to the consequences for communities in the Global South. To date, debates have focused on private-sector activities. In this article, we start from the conviction that publicly funded knowledge and technology production must also b…
Explore, engage, empower: Methodological insights into a transformative mixed methods study tackling the Covid-19 lockdown
Action-oriented, transformative, and transdisciplinary approaches are increasingly heralded as promising tools that enable researchers not only to produce new knowledge about a situation, but also to actively engage in tackling it; however, such approaches raise critical questions about the methodological implications and conflicts involved in pursuing multiple objectives concurrently. This article seeks to advance this debate by examining the me…
Shooting shots: Estimating alcoholic drink sizes in real life using event‐level reports and annotations of close‐up pictures
Evaluation of 1-Year in-Home Monitoring Technology by Home-Dwelling Older Adults, Family Caregivers, and Nurses
Introduction: Population ageing is increasing the healthcare needs and costs. Both frailty and chronic diseases affecting older people reduce their ability to live independently. However, most older people prefer to age in their own homes. New development of in-home monitoring can play a role in staying independent, active, and healthy for older people. This 12-month observational study aimed to evaluate a new in-home monitoring system among home…
Youth nightlife at home: Towards a feminist conceptualisation of home
This paper explores home as a space of youth nightlife and drinking through a feminist lens. It draws on feminist geographical scholarship on home and 40 semi-structured interviews with young people aged 16–25 in Switzerland in the context of a larger interdisciplinary study. We find that the home figures as a central space of nightlife for young people beyond pre-drinking or home parties. At the same time, privacy and intimacy are important to y…
Capturing drinking and nightlife behaviours and their social and physical context with a smartphone application – investigation of users’ experience and reactivity
Background: Many addictive behaviours are influenced by the context in which they occur, but methods for simultaneously capturing the characteristics of a behaviour and its context are scarce. This study describes a smartphone application developed to document young adults’ nightlife and drinking behaviours and investigates its impact on participants’ lives.Methods: 241 participants, aged 16–25 (46.5% women), were asked to document 10 Friday and …
The emotional entanglements of smartphones in the field: On emotional discomfort, power relations, and research ethics
Despite human geographers’ growing recognition of the need to explore how digital technologies are increasingly co‐producing geographies, the methodological implications of such forms of data production are rarely discussed. This paper explores how smartphones co‐constitute fieldwork when they are used as research instruments. Drawing from a research project on young people's nightlife in Switzerland, we use Ahmed's ideas of emotions to show how …
Development of the Geographical Proportional-to-size Street-Intercept Sampling (GPSIS) method for recruiting urban nightlife-goers in an entire city
We developed the Geographical Proportional-to-size Street-Intercept Sampling (GPSIS) method in order to obtain a sample of nightlife-goers which accounted for the diversity of spaces, patrons and locations within two Swiss cities. Popular nightlife zones were identified and quantified using social media data and local experts’ knowledge. Young people were recruited in the streets on Friday and Saturday nights on three consecutive weekends using t…
