A multidimensional taxonomy for human-robot interaction in construction (2023)
Journal Article
Rodrigues, P., Singh, R., Oytun, M., Adami, P., Woods, P., Becerik-Gerber, B., …Lucas, G. (2023). A multidimensional taxonomy for human-robot interaction in construction. Automation in Construction, 150, Article 104845. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.autcon.2023.104845

Despite the increased interest in construction robotics both in academia and the industry, insufficient attention has been given to aspects related to Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Characterizing HRI for construction tasks can help researchers organ... Read More about A multidimensional taxonomy for human-robot interaction in construction.

Players chatter and dice clatter: exploring sonic power relations in posthuman game-based learning ecologies (2022)
Journal Article
Woods, P. J., & Jones, K. (2022). Players chatter and dice clatter: exploring sonic power relations in posthuman game-based learning ecologies. Discourse, https://doi.org/10.1080/01596306.2022.2140124

Responding to both recent interest in sound within qualitative education research and sound studies literature that conceptualizes sound as a posthuman technology, we use this paper to explore the following research questions: How does sound both ena...

The Collaborative Pedagogies of Solo Improvisation: Learning through Performance in Noise Music (2022)
Journal Article
Woods, P. J. (2022). The Collaborative Pedagogies of Solo Improvisation: Learning through Performance in Noise Music. Critical Studies in Improvisation, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.21083/csieci.v15i1.6151

Although extant literature has argued for the pedagogical value of free improvisation within music education settings, these studies have largely overlooked how musicians develop their musical and sociocultural knowledges through this process of maki...

Tensions and synergies in arts‐integrated data literacy instruction: Reflections on four classroom implementations (2022)
Journal Article
Matuk, C., DesPortes, K., Amato, A., Vacca, R., Silander, M., Woods, P. J., & Tes, M. (2022). Tensions and synergies in arts‐integrated data literacy instruction: Reflections on four classroom implementations. British Journal of Educational Technology, 53(5), 1159-1178. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjet.13257

Data-art inquiry is an arts-integrated approach to data literacy learning that reflects the multidisciplinary nature of data literacy not often taught in school contexts. By layering critical reflection over conventional data inquiry processes, and b...

Aesthetics in the Eugenics Movement: A Critical Examination (2022)
Journal Article
WOODS, P. (2022). Aesthetics in the Eugenics Movement: A Critical Examination. Journal of Aesthetic Education, 56(2), 56-77

Although multiple scholars have pushed music education to embrace the aesthetic as a curricular and pedagogical touchstone, research surrounding this aesthetic turn has largely framed aesthetics as a sensory experience rather than a social technology...

Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 36(3), https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29cp.1943-5487.0001016

Despite the increased interest in automation and the expanded deployment of robots in the construction industry, using robots in a dynamic and unstructured working environment has caused safety concerns in operating construction robots. Improving hum... Read More about Impact of VR-Based Training on Human-Robot Interaction for Remote Operating Construction Robots.

Learning to make noise: toward a process model of artistic practice within experimental music scenes (2022)
Journal Article
Woods, P. J. (2022). Learning to make noise: toward a process model of artistic practice within experimental music scenes. Mind, Culture, and Activity, 29(2), 169-185. https://doi.org/10.1080/10749039.2022.2098337

Emerging at the intersection of industrial, punk, electronic music, and avant-garde jazz, noise music represents a niche subgenre reliant on loud, discordant, and arrhythmic sounds to make music. Yet despite its place within the (broadly defined) exp... Read More about Learning to make noise: toward a process model of artistic practice within experimental music scenes.

Effectiveness of VR-based training on improving construction workers’ knowledge, skills, and safety behavior in robotic teleoperation (2021)
Journal Article
