Research and education information

My research interests evolve around how affordances (actionable properties) in physical and digital information spaces may enable and support creative practices in the shape of user participation, embodied interaction, exploratory information behaviour, social navigation and serendipity (unplanned findings).

My teaching includes:

- media theory and participatory media (web 2.0)

- library 2.0, user-to-user mediation and social navigation

- webometrics and social network structures

- users' information behaviour, embodied interaction, serendipity

- interplay between information spaces (social/physical/digital), mediation flows and users' information behaviour

- interaction design and mediation in the overlap between social/physical/digital information spaces
