“…Additional qualitative data were collected by means of digital ethnography on Facebook (Dalsgaard, ), through observations on pages and photographs of migrant workers’ children and their parents. Access to these pages was possible as one of the authors had a network of Facebook friends composed of migrant workers’ children and parents (all these friends were aware that this author is a researcher).…”

In 2006 and 2010, following demands from local and international civil society organizations, Israel granted civil status to approximately 1500 undocumented migrant workers’ children. This was considered a “one time humanitarian gesture,” not to be repeated. Thousands of other children, who did not fulfill the required criteria, were left without civil status. Within the context of Israel, the homeland of the Jewish people, this mixed‐methods study explored how the children's life experiences have been constructed and reconstructed since the inception of their new civil status. According to the findings, 80 per cent of migrant workers’ children reveal a high degree of belonging to Israeli society, defining themselves as Israelis. For them, receiving civil status has four practical implications: being able to serve in the Israeli army; the ability to travel abroad; better access to the job market; and freedom from fear of deportation. Our study also revealed difficulties due to their religious and ethnic identities, reflected in the children's understandings of what it means to be Israeli. The complex manifestations of their newly acquired civil status is embedded in the concept of “freedom,” i.e. to do and to be what they really want to be.

“…Facebook e internet refuerzan el trabajo en la vida real, offline (Dalsgaard, 2016: 98). La relación entre el online y el offline podemos abordarla como dos dimensiones actuales para la acción política de organizaciones guiadas por unos propósitos definidos (Dalsgaard, 2016). El internet en general y Facebook en particular han posibilitado adelantar procesos organizativos de corte nacional y global (Castell, 2012).…”

Este artículo aborda el papel del Internet en general y el Facebook en particular en el surgimiento y configuración de los activistas cannábicos organizados como Comunidad Cannábica Colombiana (CCC). La creación de perfiles, grupos y contactos en Facebook por parte de los distintos activistas cannábicos constituyen un espacio de comunicación constante que fortalece la acción colectiva. Ese espacio combina tres asuntos centrales: 1- fortalece la confrontación organizada de una situación de exclusión, 2-permite el conocimiento mutuo e identificación colectiva entre activistas del movimiento cannábico y 3-posibilita el proceso de organización y acción colectiva de los consumidores de cannabis en Colombia.

AIM: To examine the use of the social and technology features of Facebook to recruit research participants from a closed-group. BACKGROUND: Limited research in healthcare focuses on the use of Facebook despite the many opportunities that exist. METHODS: The experience of gaining access to and recruiting participants from a closed-Facebook group using two different types of posts to advertise the study. DISCUSSION: The paper focuses on the lead author's experience of recruiting participants from a closed-group on Facebook and her experience of using two different types of posts to advertise the study. A personal post with a picture of the lead author receiving a grant to conduct the research resulted in 32% of the completed survey responses in 24 hours. CONCLUSION: Using a closed-group on Facebook was an inexpensive and successful method to survey many respondents with a shared identity from all over the United States in a short period of time. Future researchers choosing to utilize social media as a research platform should share their methods to better understand how social media can be leveraged in nursing research.
