Prof John Hughes

Contact Details

 

I am a Professor of Sociological Analysis at the University of Lancaster. I graduated from the University of Birmingham, where I held my first post. I have also held posts at the Universities of Exeter, Lund, and currently the Department of Sociology at Lancaster. I am also Scientific Advisor to the Work Study Laboratory, University of Karlskrone/Ronneby. I have written extensively on research methods, in ethnomethodology and, currently, in the field of computer supported cooperative work. I have been involved in ethnographic studies of air traffic controllers, police work, managers, engineers, and retail banking.

My research interests include the philosophy of social research, ethnomethodology and ethnography, and the social organisation of work. I resent most sociological theory.
