DESCRIPTION:CCCJ Seminar Programme 2017/18 \n(in collaboration with Metho
 ds@Manchester)\n\nCrowdsourcing involves harnessing the information and 
 skills of large crowds of people into \none collaborative project. Advan
 cements in technologies allow for larger scale participation \nthan prev
 iously possible\, resulting in larger volumes of data that can facilitat
 e more fine-grained analysis. \nFor example\, in Germany\, in 2012\, sci
 entists collaborated with 5000 people to capture over 17\,000 samples of
  mosquito\, \nresulting in the discovery of an invasive species with imp
 lications for public health. Such crowdsourced data can highlight \nnew 
 information for social science researchers\, and by considering the mode
  of production of much of this data\, \nit becomes possible to examine t
 he experiences and perceptions of the people generating it. \n
