The things we’re complaining about, we’re providing as well: Dual-Use” Technologies in the Lives of Victim-Survivors of Domestic Abuse
Purpose This paper aims to provide information for professionals and victim-survivors of domestic abuse on the potential risks and benefits of three “dual-use” technologies: smart doorbells, indoor cameras (such as smart baby monitors and pet cameras) and location tracking apps. Design/methodology/approach This study draws on qualitative interviews conducted as part of a wider mixed-methods study. Participants included UK-based professionals work…
The role of mundane resistance in the spectacular failure of the smart home
A decade on from the launch of Amazon's Alexa - the smart home's breakout product - the vision of semi-automated, pervasively sensed domesticity remains unrealised; industry losses are mounting; and big tech protagonists are in partial or full retreat from their smart home ambitions. Simultaneously, scholars draw attention to the dangers posed by the extractive business model underpinning this instantiation of the internet of things, in terms suc…
Technology-Facilitated Domestic Abuse: An under-Recognised Safeguarding Issue
Responding to domestic abuse is a key element of social work practice, in both child protection and adult safeguarding. This article sets out the ways in which rapid technological advances are being co-opted by perpetrators of domestic abuse to create new ways of exerting control. After starting with a brief reminder of recent UK legislative changes around domestic abuse, the article outlines the main ways in which technologies, including mobile …
‘ Delete the family ’: Platform families and the colonisation of the smart home
On its surface, the ‘smart home’ marks an effort to augment everyday domestic life to the benefit of its members, through the pervasive digital technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT). Through an analysis of the family-imitating group accounts offered by both Google and Amazon, as part of their smart home ecosystems, this paper identifies a project of constructing a new site for platform capitalism, in the form of the platform family, and it…
Dumber energy at home please: Perceptions of smart energy technologies are dependent on home, workplace, or policy context in the United Kingdom
Smart energy technologies (SETs) are being developed around the world to support using energy more efficiently and to smooth our consumption over time, helping us to meet our carbon reduction targets. Notably, SETs will only be effective with support and engagement from the public. Previous literature has focused on evaluating SETs within a residential context, however, results here may differ from a workplace or policy context. We note that surr…

Living with interpersonal data: Observability and accountability in the age of pervasive ICT
The Internet of Things, alongside existing mobile digital technologies, heralds a world in which pervasive sensing constantly captures data about us. Simultaneous with this technology programme are moves by policymakers to shore up the digital economy through the legislating of new trust-building models of data management. These moves seek to give individuals control and oversight of their personal data. Within shared settings, the consequences o…
Intervening to change behaviour and save energy in the workplace: A systematic review of available evidence
Wild interdisciplinarity: Ethnography and computer science
Drawing on the experiences of a novel collaborative project between sociologists and computer scientists, this paper identifies a set of challenges for fieldwork that are generated by this wild interdisciplinarity. Public Access Wi-Fi Service was a project funded by an ‘in-the-wild’ research programme, involving the study of digital technologies within a marginalised community, with the goal of addressing digital exclusion. We argue that similar …
Smart grids, smart users? The role of the user in demand side management
Smart grids are a key feature of future energy scenarios, with the overarching goal of better aligning energy generation and demand. The work presented here considers the role of the user in such systems, and the contexts in which such roles might emerge. The data used is drawn from focus groups with 72 participants, using novel scenario techniques to contextualise smart grid technologies in domestic settings. Two contrasting visions of the smart…
Hobbits, hunters and hydrology: Images of a “missing link,” and its scientific communication
Dissemination of the 2004 discovery of Homo floresiensis, aka the “Flores Hobbit,” provides the case material for an analysis of science communication models, using coverage of the find in science journals, popular science magazines, and UK newspapers. A distinction is made between “popular science” and “public science,” the latter notable for the proactive manner in which it seeks not simply to interpret science for a wider audience, but also ex…
Boundary-work and the human—animal binary: Piltdown man, science and the media
The infamous Piltdown hoax offers an excellent opportunity to study how a figure that straddled the human—animal boundary (both figuratively in its positioning as a “missing link,” and literally given its post-hoax status as a modern human skull and a modern orangutan jaw) was made to fit dichotomous understandings of it. The process of making this figure human reveals how scientific claims in the disputed border zone between humans and non-human…
Bringing Bones to Life: How Science Made Piltdown Man Human
The story of Piltdown man today has the unfortunate status of being perhaps the most notorious scientific hoax of all time. Announced in 1912 by a team led by prominent British scientist A. S. Wood
