We’ve just got back from our Faculty poster afternoon where David, Audrey and myself showed colleagues in our new Faculty of Science and Engineering what our Social Informatics Research Unit (SIRU) has been doing over the previous year. It was a good opportunity to see what other research is going on in the Faculty – there was certainly quite a range; from mobile technologies for learning to studying snails for a better understanding of the ageing process.

The Social Informatics Research Unit (SIRU) had a very productive offsite meeting yesterday in Lewes. Most of the academic staff that teach on our library and information courses are members of SIRU and yesterday we were joined by colleagues from the School of Applied Social Science (SASS) to discuss our research projects. Dave Harley from SASS presented his PhD research on older people and their use of technology which challenged some of the stereotypical views in this area. The picture shows David Horner outlining his research on ethics and technological forecasting – Juliet Eve has obviously heard it all before.
