Photographs I took from my walk on the first #snowfall of the #winter this year, with music by my J, James O’Halloran‘s “Winter Song”.

Today, in a meeting of a certain association, I was asked about my research, as apparently my expertise doesn’t fit any of traditional clusters of that associated association.

So, here is my answer:

My discipline is called science, technology, and society studies (STS) and my research expertise lies between science/engineering and social science/humanities.

I research the complex interaction between technology and society.

Specifically, it’s an interdisciplinary intersection between sociology, urban studies, and media studies on one side and data science, information science, human-computer interaction on the other side.
