I graduated in 1994 with a First Class Honours degree in Public Administration and was also awarded a Certificate in Public Service Practice following a year long placement as a civil service Fast Stream Administrative Trainee, at the Information Technology Office of the Inland Revenue. Between 1994 and 2000 I was a researcher based at the Centre for the Study of Telematics and Governance (CSTAG), Caledonian Business School, undertaking research into new innovative electronic public services.In 2000 I was appointed as a Lecturer in Public Management at the University of Stirling and in 2007 I was promoted to Senior Lecturer. I am the Director of the Public Service Management MBA and BA (Hons) Public Management & Administration programmes and contribute to a range of programmes and modules at the University. My research interests focus on issues to do with governing in the information age (e-government) and I am a recognised expert on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance cameras and Interactive Digital Television (iDTV). I am a member of the Public Sector Management Research Group and a number of academic and professional networks, including the European Group of Public Administration and the International Research Society for Public Management.

My research interests are broadly in the area of contemporary public policy and management, and the policy processes and governance structures associated with governing in the information age. In particular, innovations in processes of governance, public policy and management which are facilitating the adoption and diffusion of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in government, democratic relations and the delivery of public services and citizenship. I am a recognised expert on the emergence of new surveillance technologies in public service and policy settings and a leading authority on the policies and practices surrounding the provision of closed circuit television/video surveillance cameras and systems in public places. My research interests also include the normality of technologically mediated surveillance practices in society, the governance and regulation of privacy and data protection, and the exploration of the defining characteristics of emerging surveillance societies. Other areas of research expertise include the use of Interactive Digital Television (iDTV) for the provision of public services and the use of internet based technologies by political representatives in Scotland.Research Networks and Activity

Research Grants
In 2009 I successfully secured the funds for the four-year Living in Surveillance Societies (LiSS) COST Action IS0807 (2009-13). I am Chair and Grant Holder of this Research Programme which is funded by COST via the European Union 7th Framework Programme. In 2005 I was commissioned by the Scottish Executive to undertake a Review of the Scottish Interactive Digital Television Pilot. More information about this research, including the final report, can be found on the Scottish Executive’s Website. This research completed now features as an einclusion case study of the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme (Priority 1.1.2). In 2002 I was commissioned by Kirklees Metropolitan Council to undertake a project evaluation of ‘Joining it up in the Home – a Digital Television Project for Kirklees’. More information about this research, including the final report, can be found on the Kirklees Metropolitan Council Website. This project has informed the development of the National ‘DigiTV’ initiative.
