Monika is Senior Lecturer in Sociology, and part of ImaginationLancaster through her role as director of the Mobilities.lab Lancaster. Since her PhD study of the practical and collaborative nature of imaginative practice, she has developed a programme of research on mobile work in creative and other professions, including healthcare, event management and emergency response. Her methodological innovations in video ethnography and ethnographically informed innovation have contributed to several research fields, including participatory design, computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), and palpable and pervasive computing.

PalCom: A new perspective for ambient computing
As computing technologies become an ever more 'invisible' and powerful part of our lives, it is crucial that people are supported in understanding what these technologies are doing and what they could do for them. The European research project PalCom supports people in making computing palpable, that is, 'noticeable' and 'understandable'.
IMDE: Research Cluster on Innovative Media for a Digital Economy
In this research cluster, we investigate digital economy practices that are emerging around the capabilities of social, mobile and pervasive technologies. We explore how we can develop new services, new forms of exchange and interaction that benefit the whole of the UK economy.
