-I am broadly interested in the ways information systems intra-act with other aspects of social reality. I study sites and situations where actions are taken because of information and information systems. I employ theoretical, qualitative, and sociotechnical methods in my work.
+I am interested in relationship between information and agency in sociotechnical sites. I study sites and situations where human and technological agents interact or act upon each other because of information and information systems, especially robotics research laboratories and real-world robot deployments.  I employ theoretical, qualitative, and sociotechnical methods in my work.

+* [The production of thermophysical facts through scientific forgetting](https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/pra2.447)
 
 This project began with [my dissertation](dissertation), which developed a framework for the analysis of certainty production in information systems, and applied that to the global sociotechnical endeavor of computational timekeeping.
 
 # Sociotechnical Robotics
 
 As a Co-Lead of the Living and Working With Robots project at UT Austin, I am studying the rollout of robots on the UT Austin campus. Together with 10 other collaborators, I am applying a range of disciplinary perspectives and methods to the process of robotic design and research, the work of deploying and maintaining robots, and the effects these actions have upon the campus community. The project's goal is to learn how the process of making and deploying technology impacts a community and how to enable technologists and community members to better understand and communicate with each other. Specific projects in this research theme include:
 
-* A mixed methods HRI/STS study of how canine visual metaphors impact reception of autonomous quadruped robots
-* A study of how notions of the domestic are constructed within the [RoboCup@Home](https://athome.robocup.org/) service robotics competition
-* An ethnography of interbranch materials delivery at the [UT Austin Libraries](https://www.lib.utexas.edu/) to inform a deployment of autonomous delivery robots
+* Mixed methods HRI/STS studies incidental encounters with quadruped service robots
+* [Novel methodologies for studying real-world encounters with robots](https://vid2real.github.io/)
+* The negotiated meanings of robots, domestic space, and the "real world" in the [RoboCup@Home](https://athome.robocup.org/) domestic service robotics competition
+* A multi-site, participatory investigation of progress in robotics research: what it is, where it happens, and how it's accomplished

 Living and Working with Robots is supported by [Good Systems](https://bridgingbarriers.utexas.edu/good-systems/), a UT Grand Challenge.
 
 # Collaboration for Convergent Research
 
 The [National Science Foundation](https://nsf.gov/) has identified [convergent research](https://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/convergence/characteristics.jsp) as deeply interdisciplinary work that, from the outset, combines methods and perspectives to enable scientific innovation. I'm interested in understanding convergent researchers' collaboration needs and developing tools to make them more successful. Projects in this theme include:
 
-* Understanding research discussion groups, where convergent researchers share and discuss literature from a range of disciplines, and designing and building information systems to support this activity.
+* Participatory study of convergent robotics research
+* [Particpatory observation methods in team science](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-57850-2_19)
 
-This interest is related to in informed by my other work: my Living and Working with Robots collaboration is convergent in precisely this sense, and as a team we need to overcome these challenges to accomplish our research goals. And, of course, this is a site where action is taken in light of information.
