Personal profile

Short presentation

For many years, my research interests have evolved around the interplay between 'micro activities' and 'macro structures' in physical and digital mediation spaces (WWW, urban spaces, libraries, museums, social media, etc.). In that context, focus has been on investigating affordances in such spaces for enabling and supporting creative user practices in everyday life, especially, in the shape of user participation, exploratory information behaviour, social navigation, and serendipity (unplanned but interesting findings).

Teaching

  • Media theory and participatory mediation spaces
  • User-to-user mediation and social navigation

  • Interplay between mediation spaces (social/physical/digital), mediation flows and users' information behaviour
  • Interaction design, affordances and mediation in the overlap between social/physical/digital mediation spaces
