Her research interests include gender, language and sexuality, digital interaction, online privacy and discourse analysis. She is currently using qualitative methods to explore the discursive construction of motherhood through digital interaction on the Mumsnet talk forum. In recent years, researchers working within the discipline of applied linguistics and beyond have discovered stimulating opportunities to study human interaction, rituals and behaviours online. Applied linguists working with data from the internet therefore have a responsibility to continually scrutinise and re-evaluate the ethics of their research methods in line with fast-moving technological developments. In the past decade, an increasing number of scholars have advocated a case-based, context-sensitive approach to the issue of privacy, ethics and internet research. But the mechanisms for applying such an approach are often not made explicit, leaving researchers unsure how to proceed ethically in increasingly complex and shifting research contexts. Using a study of the Mumsnet Talk forum as a case, I show how my self-reflexive and linguistic approach, which draws on established traditions in qualitative research, has helped me to understand what many users of this forum see as normal information flows within this setting. I suggest that such a reflexive-linguistic approach is of value to internet researchers working within the applied linguistic discipline and beyond, who wish to make sensitive, informed ethical judgements that minimise the risk of harm to their participants. The second feels fine, the third feels like eavesdropping. These are the words of BertieBotts , a user of the online discussion forum of a popular British parenting website, Mumsnet Talk. The most up-to-date thinking on the subject of ethics, privacy and internet research has tended to move away from this dichotomy, returning instead to core ethical principles, most notably the maxim do no harm , and advocating an approach to ethics that is case-based and attentive to context Markham and Buchanan ,

MNHQ have commented on this thread. I was asked by Mumsnet to start a post here to request a Jewish Mumsnetter section. This request comes out of a thread where Jewish people were discussing ethnic and religious identities that was then co-opted by others refusing to provide space for those conversations. Thus illustrating the need for a distinct Jewish space on here. Of course, Jewish conversation and contribution is valuable across mumsnet, but a neat space for Jewish perspectives to be protected and valued is a great addition - just as Black, South Asian, Welsh, Irish and Scottish mumsnetters have and benefit from. We'll certainly give consideration to a Jewish Mumsnetters section if there is demand. You're quite welcome to start a thread in Site Stuff to ask if others feel the same. I hope this may serve as an opportunity for Mumsnet to build much needed bridges. Not jewish but support this. The antisemitism and open vitriol has been horrific on mumsnet this week.

On the thread Israelilefty started, people were asking about Orthodox Judaism. So I am starting another one here. Other Orthodox Jewish women are welcome to answer too, so we have more of a range of answers. I am Chabad Chasidic, we are very religious - I wear a wig, my husband wears black and white and we have lots of books in hebrew in our house. What does a typical day in your household look like? How much of your day centres around religion? I honestly know zero about what it means to be an Orthodox Jew and very little about what it means to be Jewish generally. Could you give me an quick summary of the basics wase? Have you seen those - just out of interest? People asked lots of questions about the kosher rules, bedikah cloths, Mikva and how the family purity laws sat in relation to feminism.
