Employment History:

Professor - Interdisciplinary: Simon Fraser University, Surrey, BC, Canada V3T 2W1 (September 1999 to present; 1999-2000 as Technical University of British Columbia).  Director of the EC3 Lab and Graduate Programme admissions chair. Prime teaching responsibilities include history of technology and culture, social informatics, new communication technologies and policies.  Research interests have centered in several are: new media, technology and policy; communication of technical information; minorities and new media; and public opinion.

At SFU, I have been instrumental in designing both graduate and undergraduate curriculum, including the foundational structure of the graduate programme in Computing Arts and Design Sciences. I presently chair the graduate admissions committee and direct the EC3 Lab, a facility for social sciences research in new media technology.

My current research centres on electronic commerce and consumer loyalty, communications policy and new media technologies. Key to this latter interest is tracing the industrial and social changes arising as new media forms supplant earlier ones.

Associate Professor - Communications: University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195 (January, 1981 to 1998; assistant professor, September, 1974, to December, 1980).

In my 28 years tenure at the UW, I had major responsibilities for organizing a cross-disciplinary Ph.D. program with the Departments of Political Science and Rhetoric & Communication in the College of Arts & Science, and the Department of Technical Communications, College of Engineering. At the University level, I  had committee responsibility for social science computing, data archiving, library automation and the coordination of instructional computing resources. I am currently co-director of a Pacific Northwest Region telecommunications consortium, having participation from major regional carriers, universities and state/provincial governments.
