Project Director:

Dr. Mark Rouncefield

Mark Rouncefield is a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Computing, Lancaster University. Previously he was a teacher and lecturer in Further Education. His research interests are in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and involve the study of various aspects of the empirical study of work, organisation, human factors and interactive computer systems design. This work is strongly inter-disciplinary in nature and has led to extensive and continuing collaborations with colleagues in Sociology, Computing, Informatics and Management departments both in the UK and abroad. He is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Organisational Transformation and Social Change (OTSC), Sociological Research Online and the Health Informatics Journal.
