PHD DISSERTATION

A Brief History of the Future of Urban Computing and Locative Media
Following urban computing and locative media and their accompanying visions from labs,
conferences and classrooms to journal publications and popular media accounts, this dissertation
presents four case histories in corporate, academic and artistic design practice. An analysis of the
Mobile Bristol, Passing Glances, Sonic City and Urban Tapestries research and design projects
draws out the idea that everyday life in the future city is expected to become more expressive,
engaging and meaningful. The increased extensibility and transmissibility of the city itself, along
with an increased ability to be socially embedded within it, is seen to be a fundamental promise
inherent in these projects. The dissertation argues that such spatial and cultural potentialities can
be productively understood as involving temporary, selective and mobile publics, where creative
and playful interactions emerge as primary means of social innovation. The dissertation builds on
available sociological approaches to understanding everyday life in the networked city to show
that emergent technologies reshape our experiences of spatiality, temporality and embodiment. It
contributes to methodological innovation through the use of data bricolage and research blogging,
which are presented through experimental and recombinant textual strategies; and it contributes
to the field of science and technology studies by bringing together actor-network theory with the
sociology of expectations in order to empirically evaluate an area of cutting-edge design.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests range across a wide variety of subjects related to one another through my
long-time fascination with technology, space and culture. This interest in what we do and what
we make led me to studies in sociology, anthropology, ethnohistory and archaeology--but always
returning me to social and cultural theory, as well as material culture and history, architecture and
social space, social studies of science and technology, design cultures and innovation practices,
and qualitative methods. My current research explores how actor-network theory and critiques of
everyday life can help people understand and shape emergent technologies.

TEACHING

I believe that teaching and learning begin by simply coming together as people and considering
the possibility and potential of different worlds. By integrating a wide variety of readings, lectures,
small group discussions, research projects, presentations and creative activities, I encourage
students to identify and improve upon their existing strengths as well as to cultivate new skills that
will continue to serve them in the future.

My teaching interests and experience include social studies of science and technology, material
culture studies, cultural theory, qualitative research methods, art and design.

COURSES DEVELOPED & TAUGHT

2008-2009
Design & Computation Arts, Concordia University

       dart 391: Collaborative Design Research
       This is a core theory-based studio course in design research methodologies and
       strategies for collaborative project development - highlighting the role of designer as
       social and cultural mediator. Throughout the term we will focus on participatory,
       sustainable and responsible methods for designing with, and for, non-profits, government
       and other public organisations. Each week, studio practice and project development will
       be augmented with lectures, readings and discussions that locate collaborative design
       research practice within the broader cultural and material dimensions of public life, civic
       engagement and social justice.

       http://dart391b.wordpress.com/ (Fall 2008)

       cart 453: The Digital Nomad
       In order to explore the roles that computational art can play in an increasingly
       technologised and mobile world, this studio course examines the social, material, ethical
       and aesthetical dimensions of nomadism in everyday life. Each week, studio practice and
       project development will be augmented with lectures, readings and discussions that
       locate computational art within the broader cultural and material dimensions of global
       mobility and nomadic lifestyles.

       soci 2700: Power & Everyday Life
       This second-year course takes up Ben Highmore's challenge to question everyday life
       and allow everyday life to question our understandings of the world. The first term
       introduces students to a variety of critical and historical perspectives on power and
       everyday life, and how these theoretical and methodological approaches can help us
       actively understand relations of production and consumption in our daily lives.Delving into
       everything from how we experience space and time to how we understand bodies,
       identities, objects and interactions with others, the second term focusses on
       technoscience as a primary force shaping power relations and everyday life today.

       http://powerandeverydaylife.wordpress.com/ (Fall 2007­Winter 2008)

       anth/soci 4036: Advanced Studies in Science, Technology & Innovation
       This fourth-year seminar focusses on critical and creative engagement with contemporary
       social and cultural studies of technoscience. In addition to focussing on philosophical and
       historical approaches to scientific knowledge and practice, including their shifting roles
       within the social sciences, students will take on the political and ethical dimensions of
       technoscience in everyday life. From how scientists, engineers and designers work, to
       how gender shapes -- and is shaped by -- innovations in biotechnology, this seminar
       encourages students to articulate what might constitute technoscientific citizenship today
       and into the future.

       anth/soci 2035: Introduction to Sociology of Science & Technology
       This second-year course introduces students to material culture studies and recent
       literature in social and cultural studies of science and technology, while offering the
       opportunity to critically explore a variety of practices and issues affecting our daily lives.
       Specifically, students will come to understand how science and technology shape and
       are shaped by material objects, as well as social and political interests and processes. By
       studying both structural (macro) and individual (micro) interactions, students will be able
       to apply this knowledge to their everyday lives, both present and future.

       soci 4038: Advanced Studies in Urban Cultures
       This fourth-year seminar builds on John Urry's premise that `mobilities,' as both metaphor
       and as process, are at the heart of social life. Students will critically engage questions
       such as: When cities embody global relations, flows, migrations and cultural ties to far-off
       places, for whom does the urban remain as tangible and clearly delimited as the
       medieval walled city? How is city space and public life organised? How are urban spaces
       becoming increasingly technologised? What forms do power, control and resistance
       take? How do different people negotiate personal and group identities and experience
       everyday life in the city?
