I hold the position of Research Fellow at the
Oxford Internet Institute,
a department within the Social Sciences Division of the
University of
Oxford.
I work in the field of
Social Informatics, hence the domain name
of this website.
Social Informatics is defined
as “the interdisciplinary study of the design, uses and consequences
of ICTs that takes into account their interaction with institutional
and cultural context”. The aim of SI is not only
to enlarge academic understanding of ICTs, but also to inform public
policy debates and professional practice.
My research interests encompass the
following topics:
-
Privacy aspects in relation
to ICT;
-
Online identities
and online (self) disclosure;
-
Social, economical,
legal and
political impact of new technologies
-
(e.g.
electronic voting, e-government
systems, location tracking systems);
-
Public trust issues;
-
Online activism;
-
User participation as a
practical form for (computer) system design;
-
Defining user requirements
for new applications;
-
Socio-economic position of
jazz musicians
in the informal economy.

Work
I work on the
Privacy Value Networks research project (EPSRC
funded).
The goal of the PVNets project is to develop and apply new
methodologies for the study of privacy and to help government and business to
understand the value of personal data, as well as the value and risks for
other stakeholders.
The project involves collaboration between the
Oxford Internet Institute, the University of Bath, UCL and St. Andrew's
University.
