Collecting data in another country came with a slew of unanticipated challenges. In this paper to be presented at this year’s @FAccTConference we discuss these. Led and by the amazing @ankolikawrites, she, @drjessmaddox, and I discuss challenges faced across multiple studies!
Excited for the incredible Ankolika De to present our work at this year’s FAccT! We call out the “hard to reach” myth for international participants, address IRB’s demands that misalign with participant experiences, & how IRBs don’t understand social media platform specificity @shaheenk.bsky.social

I promise this isn’t for April Fools!
