Background

James Stewart is a senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh in the Science Technology and Innovation Studies and the Institute for Science, Technology and Innovation. He works in the field of technology studies, concentrating on the development, governance, appropriation, consumption and use of new ICTs and the co-evolution of large scale systems of technology and culture.

His research interests are focused on the appropriation and innovation done in technology, policy and practice as new technologies, in particular ICTs, are shaped to support the activities and relationships of particular domains of everyday life, industry or government. He has a particular interest in how "data" becomes evidence, and in the economy and sociology of data in the City. He was a founder of the Edinburgh Living Lab.

His earlier work covers  Internet of Things governance and ethics, standardisation as a factor in innovation, interdisciplinary research, social network systems, the merging of virtual and physical space; China and EU innovation policy, future mobile and wireless systems, gender and technology . Other work includes cybercafes, digital inclusion, digital cities, developing Internet business, public space and ICTs,and managing innovative multimedia projects.

Since 1995 he has been responsible for teaching topics related to data, the internet, information technology and society at post graduate and undergraduate levels, and supervises PhD students  from around the world working on these topics.

He has a BEng in Electronics, and MSc and PhD in Science and Technology Studies. His doctoral research was on social processes involved in how we engage, adopt (or not) and cope with new media and ICTs in our everyday lives at home and work. James is a commentator on the convergence of media, and on the future shape and use pervasive media. He has recently returned from 3 years as a Scientific Officer at the Institute for Prospective Technology Studies at the European Commission, in the Action on ICTs for Social Inclusion, with responsibility for the work on Employment, and contributing to work on social innovation and impact assessment of local ICT-enabled services. At the IPTS he led work on impact, development and implementation of ICTs for home carers, of digital games for social inclusion, and on online work exchanges (the gig economy).

An relatively new course, using an experiential learning approach for 1st and 2nd year students from any discipline. Students work in mixed-discipline groups to measure and design potential interventions on 'wicked' problems introduced by partner organisations in the Edinburgh Living Lab, from both outside and inside the University. The aim is to help develop and demonstrate students broader skills, and development cross-disciplinary collaboration experience.  Second Semester with Morgan Currie.

Postgraduate Teaching

Courses for on-campus students from any discipline

Internet, Society and Economy
