MOST SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS

Mobile Media Studies: Since 2006 I have been working in mobility studies with a particular expertise in the cultural impacts and potential of mobile media devices, such as the cellular telephone. In much of my creative work the politics and potential of geo-location is central. I engage with those often left out of the digital agenda: seniors, women from multi-cultural, multi-lingual backgrounds, and those with physical disabilities. I am in the process of establishing a Mobilities Research Centre at Concordia: the Lab now is training and mentoring over 20 students and we will host the Pan-American Mobilities Conference at Concordia next year. To acknowledge this work, I was awarded a Concordia University Research Chair in Mobile Media Studies, Tier 1, which will commence in June 2012. Impacts : The development of mobility studies as an area and sub-discipline in Canada. Use of mobile media and ICTs to empower individuals and communities.
Ageing Communication Media: My work addresses implicit ageism in the communications agenda, particularly with respect to mobile media and ICTs. The mobile media/ICT agenda predominantly focuses on youth excluding those who are 65 and over from research. With Dr. Barbara Crow my collaborators, I have now written over 6 peer-reviewed publications from three years of research on a project known as “Seniors and Cells” and we are acknowledged as unique in this understudied area which favours the exuberant youthful user as the ideal research subject. Impacts: Ageing is increasingly a part of the agenda of mobilities research. We have been policy consultation on seniors and privacy commissioned by Law Society of Ontario. I have now brought several seniors organizations on board to projects in order to make the projects we are producing relevant to their concerns, but also to develop the methodology of “Participatory ICT”.
Research-Creation in Communications: For the past twenty years I have been involved in the intersection between art and new media. This has lead to the influential article on research-creation, with Dr. Owen Chapman, which circulated widely as a key text for students before its recent publication in the Canadian Journal of Communications. I have just completed a special issue on the subject for the CJC, with a former student Dr. Andrea Zeffiro. The result is the legitimation of this methodology at various institutional levels and participation on numerous MA and PHD committees. Impact: Policy changes at the University and in the Joint Doctoral Program on the inclusion of research creation; guidelines for journals to peer-review in these areas.
New Media Methodologies. I have written several key pieces for text books and journals which explain the importance of research design in relation to research methods. Impacts: Curriculum for the teaching of methods in media studies; success in supervision and clear discussions and guidelines for students on the topic.
Medicine and Public Culture: I have written a number of texts in this area including the influential paper, "Biotourism and the Body Sublime," Wild Science: Feminism, Medicine and the Media, Janine Marchessault and Kim Sawchuk.(UK: Routledge, 2000). And When Pain Strikes, eds. Bill Burns, Cathy Busby and Kim Sawchuk. (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1999). Impacts: Some of the first work done on art and medicine in Canada. New knowledge of the kety role played by Canadians (JCB Grant) in reformulation of anatomy from a systems to a regional approach. Further, I have completed a large digital data base of over 960 images produced for the first anatomical atlas in Canada. These valuable research materials have been indexed, archived and digitized for researcher and curators leading to an expertise in Digital Asset Management, which has proven extremely valuable for cross-disciplinary collaborations.

ACTIVITIES AND CONTRIBUTIONS
Digital Publication: From 2005 to 2011 I edited the Canadian Journal of Communication. While editor I reduced our ‘processing’ time for articles by 50%, developed our online capabilities, expanded the number of articles in print, and added artworks to the cover and research- creation to the agenda in the ‘projects’ section. In 2009 I co-founded the Mobile Media Gallery and in 2007, with MDCN colleagues. We developed a digital media journal, wi: the journal of the mobile digital commons network, to disseminate the findings from our research program. We have since moved the journal to our Mobile Media Lab. In this journal, we are trying both to take advantage of the web and its ability to host multi-media, as well as push the boundaries of what constitutes the mobile.
