Dr Jo Briggs

Reader in User Experience

My interdisciplinary research investigates socio-digital aspects of design for interaction and experience. Another vital interest is cocreative methodologies, which are increasingly necessary in understanding emergent digital experiences and wider phenomena.

I publish across design and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) venues and, given the multi- and interdisciplinary nature of my research, also the ‘hard’ computer sciences (most recently, Computer Vision), the humanities and the social sciences.

I am a Peer Review College member for AHRC (Strategic reviewer) and ESRC and sit on award panels. I also work with the Daphne Jackson Trust for whom I am a Trustee. Other external roles include Oxford Internet Institute (visitor/PhD supervisor) and Queen’s MediaLab Belfast (External Examiner).
