RESEARCHER

I am a member of the Community Information Systems Centre (CISC) and Convener of the Music & Audio Systems Research Group (MASRG). I supervise PhD students in the areas of music, media and community Information Systems. I have little time to carry out real research of my own, but I do get excited about methodologies, surveillance, civil liberties, social change, disability, empowerment, multimedia and music.

For 2008-08, The Faculty has awarded me a grant for project work on speech recognition of lectures - for the initial purpose of supporting hearing-impaired students, but with potentially great use to all students if plans work out - much great work being done on it by Phill Phelps. Watch this space!

See my Curriculum Vitae for more details of research interests.

Here are a few papers that I have written

WHAT ELSE?

Resources for:-

Currently undergoing updates and only accessible from inside the UWE firewall, as much of this is copyright restricted material recorded from radio and TV. You may need Quicktime Player, Flash Player etc. A cornucopia of all sorts of audio and visual oddities about film, music and multimedia topics.

Well worth a browse if you want to be stimulated in the brain department!
