Susanne Bødker appointed new professor in human–computer interaction
Susanne Bødker has been appointed Professor of Human–Computer
Interaction at the Department of Computer Science, the University
of Aarhus. Professor Bødker (50) studied at the University of
Aarhus and graduated with an MSc and a PhD. Her doctoral degree was
conferred in 1999.
Professor Bødker conducts research into the interaction between
humans and computers. She works mainly with understanding the
application properties of computer technology. This is concerned
with everything from the placement of computer technology in
organisations to IT-supported collaboration and the appropriate
configuration of design and application of the small, mobile
technologies that are present everywhere. Here she develops
theories, methodologies and concepts to understand and design the
next generation of IT in everything.
Professor Bødker is internationally recognised for her focus on the
fact that humans do not work with technology, but work and
collaborate via technology. With this perspective, she has been a
prominent driving force in the development of new ways of thinking
about human–computer interaction, where she has made particular use
of design techniques involving users. She has a special interest in
the field of “new ways of working”, where she studies new
computer-supported ways of collaborating.
