Human data interaction: historical lessons from social studies and CSCW (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Crabtree, A., & Mortier, R. Human data interaction: historical lessons from social studies and CSCW. Presented at 14th European Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work

Human Data Interaction (HDI) is an emerging field of research that seeks to support end-users in the day-to-day management of their personal digital data. This is a programmatic paper that seeks to elaborate foundational challenges that face HDI from... Read More about Human data interaction: historical lessons from social studies and CSCW.

House rules: the collaborative nature of policy in domestic networks (2015)
Journal Article
Crabtree, A., Rodden, T., Tolmie, P., Mortier, R., Lodge, T., Brundell, P., & Pantidi, N. (2015). House rules: the collaborative nature of policy in domestic networks. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 19(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-014-0771-6

We draw on ethnographic studies to understand the collaborative nature of network policies or rules in domestic settings. We outline the technical nature of network policy in enterprise domains and how this contrasts with the social or collaborative...

Making it "pay a bit better": design challenges for micro rural enterprise (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Crabtree, A., & Chamberlain, A. (2014, February). Making it "pay a bit better": design challenges for micro rural enterprise. Presented at CSCW '14: Proceedings of the 17th ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work & social computing, Baltimore, Maryland, USA

This paper reports on a field study of small market in Wales undertaken as part of broader research project aimed at developing IT solutions to support rural enterprise. The project is predicated on the assumption that the primary challenge facing ru... Read More about Making it "pay a bit better": design challenges for micro rural enterprise.

Placebooks: Participation, Community, Design, and Ubiquitous Data Aggregation ‘In the Wild’ (2013)

Exploring reactions to widespread energy monitoring (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Colley, J. A., Bedwell, B., Crabtree, A., & Rodden, T. (2013, September). Exploring reactions to widespread energy monitoring. Presented at 14th IFIP Conference on Human-Computer Interaction-INERACT 2013, Cape Town, South Africa

This paper explores the measurement, apportionment and representation of widespread energy monitoring. We explicate the accountability to users of the data collected by this type of monitoring when it is presented to them as a single daylong picture....

Issues and understandings for rural HCI systems development: Agile approaches "In the wild" (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davies, M., Chamberlain, A., & Crabtree, A. (2013, July). Issues and understandings for rural HCI systems development: Agile approaches "In the wild". Presented at HCI International 2013, Las Vegas, NV, USA

HCI system design has largely been focused towards urban areas, the technology and the infrastructure of such environments. Researchers are often unaware of the local, real-word context and the restraints that this can have upon the both the interact...

Performance-Led Research in the Wild (2013)
Journal Article
Benford, S., Adams, M., Tandavanitj, N., Row Farr, J., Greenhalgh, C., Crabtree, A., Flintham, M., Walker, B., Marshall, J., Koleva, B., Rennick Egglestone, S., & Giannachi, G. (2013). Performance-Led Research in the Wild. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 20(3), 1-22. https://doi.org/10.1145/2491500.2491502

We explore the approach of performance-led research in the wild in which artists drive the creation of novel performances with the support of HCI researchers that are then deployed and studied at public performance in cultural settings such as galler...
