Research Interests

For the past six years my research has investigated how people use a variety of interactive technologies (video games, community networks, mobile phones, etc.) for convivial and sociable purposes in a variety of situations (family relationships, local neighborhoods, work-based occupational communities, online computer games). Current projects include the ARC funded "Connected Homes Project", and I have recently commenced working on a study of "The Social World of Warcraft", which is examining the sociality of massively multiplayer online role playing games and their implications for everyday social life.
