This Friday, June 24th, is our next meeting of the Interpersonal Communication Research Group.
We'll meet at 1 pm. at 3116 Derby Hall for what promises to be a great discussion... CJ Lee will present an informal talk on:
Connecting Media Exposure and Conversation
CJ Lee will begin his presentation by summarizing two of his studies in the intersection between media effects and interpersonal communication. The first study (i.e., Lee, 2010) explored the interactive effect of media use for health information and interpersonal health communication on healthy lifestyle behaviors. The second study (i.e., Lee, 2009) examined the conditions under which mass media campaign exposure promotes conversation about campaigns or campaign topics using the concept of social capital. Then, CJ Lee will very briefly talk about three ongoing studies with Jennifer Kam in order to facilitate discussion regarding this area of research.
For those particularly interested in the topic, CJ suggests that we read Southwell & Yzer (2009), When (and why) interpersonal talk matters to campaigns, Communication Theory, 19, 1-8.
If you are in town and available, we hope to see you on Friday!

Talk on Collaboration May Interest IP Comm Folks
I've added the location...
Can Couch Potatoes be Collaborators?
Dr. Venugopal Vasudevan - Motorola Applied Research
Monday May 9th 1-3 pm
Location: CETI Lab Caldwell 400
Content and communication have converged towards collaborative media
– where media rather than people are the objects around which
collaborations & conversations are centered. The device and group
dynamics around collaborative media have similarly broadened: from
highly capable devices to pervasive devices (e.g. TV & mobile) and
from small, strongly connected groups to large collaborative groups
of people with weak inter-personal ties. This talk will address some
of the experiences and challenges in delivering a collaborative media
experience to pervasive devices such as TV and multi-screen
collaborative media. We will address the systems challenges in
scaling these experiences across large user populations, and creating
coherent crowdsourced experiences across large user populations.
Biography:
Dr. Venu Vasudevan is senior director of the Betaworks, an incubator
within Motorola's Applied Research with responsibility for
identifying technologically differentiating and commercially viable
opportunities in the spaces of mobile & pervasive computing, and
social media. Prior to this, Venu directed the Software Platforms Lab
with research focus on applying distributed computing technologies to
efficient and scalable media delivery architectures for advancing
television and mobile platforms – including several key Motorola
initiatives in the mobile/pervasive media space.
Venu holds a PhD from The Ohio State University, and has co-authored
over 50 papers in journals and international conferences, and is a
member of Motorola’s Science Advisory Board.

Social Network Analysis Workshop in May
FYI, for those who would like to learn more about social network analysis:
Network Analysis Workshop at Ohio State University
The Political Science Department, in conjunction with Complex Systems
Innovation Group, Program in Statistics and Methodology (PRISM), and the
National Science Foundation, is pleased to host a one day workshop on Network
Analysis on Thursday, May 5th, from 9:00 - 3:00. The workshop will be taught by
Bruce A. Desmarais, Department of Political Science, University of
Massachusetts-Amherst (http://www.people.umass.edu/
The course will provide an introduction to political network analysis and will
cover the basics of network analysis including: terminology, data
collection/storage and basic description. We will also consider advanced topics
in description and exploration such as graphical representation and community
detection. Additionally, the course will introduce methods of statistical
inference with network data including regression with quadratic assignment
procedure (QAP), exponential random graph models (ERGMs), and bilinear random
effects models. All methods will be demonstrated in the R statistical software,
and commented code will be made available in conjunction with the course.
There is limited space available for interested participants, so we ask all of
those hoping to attend to RSVP as soon as possible (link below). If you have
any questions regarding the workshop, please feel free to contact Janet
Box-Steffensmeier (steffensmeier.2@osu.edu) or Jason Morgan
(morgan.746@osu.edu). Additional information and a detailed schedule will be
emailed to registered participants as soon as they become available.
