Last week I attended the RGS-IBG annual international conference, for which I convened a session and presented a paper.
Shamelessly borrowing a title from a paper by Genevieve Bell and Paul Dourish, my presentation entitled “Yesterday’s tomorrows” was concerned with the manner [...]
My research seems to orbit around the future orientation of ubicomp research and development and in that wavering trajectory I encounter various modes of anticipation. In presenting a semblance of certainty (where there need not be, and perhaps is not), obligations may be construed, and promises apparently made. Promises can be thought of as a [...]
Half-way through my three years of PhD research project I am still mentally searching for, and experimenting with, titles. Thus far I have had the following titles in chronological order:
Practising Tomorrows’ Today – Examining the anticipatory logics and techniques of urban-ubiquitous computing development Practising the technics of disappearance: emergent spatialities and the experimental development [...]
In the first week of March I travelled to the San Francisco Bay area. The purpose of my visit was to meet with key people relevant to my research.
For the RGS-IBG annual conference 2008 my colleague James Ash and I are proposing a session on understandings of technology in geography. We welcome expressions of interests. I include the abstract for the session below.
International Science Grid This Week, an online news source for those interested in grid computing and grid-powered science, recently asked me to write an opinion piece about ubiquitous computing, which is featured in this week’s edition. I’d like to thank Cristy Burne at [...]
I am in the process of revising a paper that is in the process of review for publication entitled Embracing entanglements: Problematising the cosmopolitics of mobile communications technologies. I include below the abstract. If you are interested in this research feel free to contact me to discuss it [...]
How does one summarise the background to a research project when it makes up an entire research agenda in a different discipline? This is a task I must continue to engage in as my project progresses. I would currently guide social sciences readers from the familiar ground of mobile communications technologies to the less familiar, and experimental, systems and devices of my area of research – Ubiquitous Computing, or ‘ubicomp’.
When writing as a scholar one is always utilising theory. What is more, the collections and interrelations of ideas mobilised in the process is not a static or staid process – it is dynamic, not in a clichéd way but as a changeable movement of concepts at different speeds and across different durations, in short [...]
