Field within HCI: Video Mediated Communication, Interaction Design

I am a senior researcher in Human-Computer Interaction and a senior lecturer in Media Technology at Södertörn University.

My research begins with an anthropological interest in understanding human beings in organisations and in society. It considers social practices, ways of acting with and through technology in order to convey ideas, knowledge, and values. The focus is not solely about the peoples’ interaction with the technology in situ but also how this interaction is made possible, and the conventions, structures and norms that constitutes it.

I manage a two-year research project Drivers and Barriers for Mediated Meetings at Centre for Sustainable communications. The project aims to explore the conditions for video mediated meetings. The project pays attention to what goes on beyond the immediate use of technology itself, i.e. turns towards the ideas and conventions that constitute technology use and vice versa in order to analyze the activities within which the use is embedded and through which it becomes meaningful.
