Supervision

I am happy to supervise research students across all of my research interests, which are broadly categorised under the themes of information ethics and law, and the philosophy of information. I am also interested in any public library topics students may wish to explore, but especially around topics that explore public library ethos and purpose.

I am also interested in topics that consider how the information professions deliver services mindful of the the benefits to society and the rights of citizens. To that end, topics such as privacy, freedom of access to information, censorship and freedom of expression, are all topics I'd be happy to explore with students from a multitude of theoretical approaches.
