About me
My research is focused on the organisation and experiences of mobility from a social science perspective, working at the nexus of everyday life, travel and digital technology. At the Centre for Transport and Society I have promoted social science thinking and methods to better understand the intersection of transport, travel, and technologies. Key themes include:-
- How social practices engage with technologies in the performance of place, identity and mobility.
- Organisational futures that impact on or shape everyday mobility and connectivity.
- The future of work, travel and connectivity, including work-life balance.
