Yuwei joined the University in October 2009 as lecturer in Future Media, having previously worked at the Coordinating Hub of the ESRC National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS) at the University of Manchester (2006-9). She has also worked at the Department of Information Systems at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (2005-6) after completing a PhD in Sociology at the University of York investigating hacker culture(s), hacking practices and the socio-technical dynamics within and across Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities.
Yuwei's areas of expertise for research and teaching are:
- Science and Technology Studies (STS)
- Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS)
- Virtual communications and virtual communities
- Digital culture (especially in relation to hacker culture and user-participatory culture)
- Gender and ICTs
- Cultural and socio-technical dynamics in community-based innovation systems.
- Innovative research methods and new kinds of data
Yuwei am interested to hear from potential research students, collaborators, journalists, about these areas.
