© 2017, The Author(s). We present fieldwork findings from the deployment of an interactive sensing system that supports the work of energy advisors who give face-to-face advice to low-income households in the UK. We focus on how the system and the da... Read More about Data Work: How Energy Advisors and Clients Make IoT Data Accountable.

New directions in information technology law: learning from human–computer interaction (2017)
Journal Article
Urquhart, L., & Rodden, T. (in press). New directions in information technology law: learning from human–computer interaction. International Review of Law, Computers and Technology, 31(2), https://doi.org/10.1080/13600869.2017.1298501

Effectively regulating the domestic Internet of Things (IoT) requires a turn to technology design. However, the role of designers as regulators still needs to be situated. By drawing on a specific domain of technology design, human–computer interacti... Read More about New directions in information technology law: learning from human–computer interaction.
