Research

I am interested in people's experiences with digital technologies. My research aims to develop better understandings of how various digital technologies shape our activities, our interactions with others, as well as our sense of self and well being, in order to explore ways to better design future technologies.

Revisiting Social Practices Surrounding Music

ABSTRACT:

Music shapes our social lives. While previous research has provided a foundational understanding of the social af-fordances surrounding people’s interactions with music, there is a need to update this understanding in light of re-cent key developments in our digital technological land-scape. This paper describes a qualitative study of people’s social activities and practices around music in households. It extends previous research by revealing the impact key technologies have on how, where, when, and with who people’s interactions surrounding music occur. It also re-veals people’s creative attempts to design their musical ex-periences with others through reconfiguring and connecting to various digital technologies and digital platforms in order to pursue more opportunities for communicating, sharing, bonding, and celebrating lives with others.
