I believe that technology design researchers should be prepared to engage in a critical technical practice (as Philip Agre phrased it), considering a wide range of philosophical, artistic and social commentary on the design enterprise.

This is not work that requires (or attracts) funding, and as a result, I am not able to accept students in this field.

Collaborators:

• Mark Blythe
• Jofish Kaye
• Jeff Bardzell
• Shaowen Bardzell

Other relevant collaborations include work with Marilyn Strathern, Georgina Born, Andrew Barry, Lee Wilson and conversations with Matt Ratto, Paul Dourish, Gilbert Cockton.
