Biography and research interests

Ian leads the Psychology and Social Change Research Group, and his
research interests focus on developing interdisciplinary social scientific
approaches to the study of surveillance, mental health, embodiment, space and
identity. His current research is focused on analysing the impact of
surveillance and dataveillance technologies on everyday living. This is based
on a project with Dave Harper and Darren Ellis (both at UEL), in which
members of the public were interviewed about their knowledge and experiences
with surveillance. He is interested in developing this research through
exploring how the social sciences conceptualises the proliferating nature of
surveillance technologies, and the impact this has on people's embodied sense
of identity and subjectivity.'
