As an anthropologist with a growing interest in the QS movement and self-tracking, I have a few questions which I am hoping someone on this forum might be able to comment on:
Who is involved in the QS movement?
What gender differences are there in the use of, and insights gained from self-measurement/tracking?
What issues around data privacy does self-measurement/tracking raise, how are these perceived?
Perhaps I am looking in the wrong places but I don’t seem to be able to find much academic writing on QS?
Hi Matt, great to see you here, I’ve learned a lot from some of the anthropologists and sociologists who are looking at the QS Movement. I’d begin with a search for: Dawn Nafus, Whitney Erin Boessel, Deborah Lupton. The conference have a pretty good contingent of academic researchers from many disciplines, so if you want to meet some in person that’s a good way.
