Senior Lecturer and Co-Director of the new Social Informatics Research Unit (SIRU) in the Department of Sociology, University of York. His academic interests are focused around the emergence of new information and communications technologies (ICTs), such as the internet, and the social, political and economic factors shaping their development and diffusion, and their implications for social, economic, governmental and cultural change.

He co-authored Key Concepts in Cyberculture (Routledge, 2004) and Challenging the Digital Divide? (Joseph Rowntree Foundation, 2004). Over the last decade he has edited a popular series of books for Routledge on various aspects of ICTs: Towards a Post-Fordist Welfare State?; The Governance of Cyberspace; The Cyberspace Divide; Digital Democracy; Cybercrime; Community Informatics; Digital Academe; and, most recently, Cyberprotest: New Media, Citizens and Social Movements.
