Do you remember when people used to take photos of their dinner, get them developed and then mail them to all their friends for comment? Neither do I.
My research focuses on how digital technologies shape what people do from a primary health care perspective. Right now I use a combination of theoretical and sociological methods to understand how children’s play is changing amidst new technologies and the associated concerns of parents, health services and policy makers.
I teach into the primary health care and occupational science streams of the Occupational Therapy Program.
