I am Dr Frances Ryan<\/a> and have recently (re)joined the Centre for Social Informatics<\/a> as a lecturer, where I will be contributing to the creative and social informatics curriculum. I will also be continuing with my research<\/a>, which has a focus on information sharing and use in online environments, especially as it relates to everyday life and \u201clived\u201d or real-world experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My official return was in November 2021, and I spent my first months settling into the new role. That included setting up my various accounts and IT equipment, working through induction materials, developing a work plan for my research and teaching objectives, preparing for teaching (and delivering teaching), and meetings. Lots and lots and lots of meetings! I am now four months into the new role and am looking forward to a dynamic academic career ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many ways, this new job is a return home for me as\u00a0Edinburgh Napier University is where I did my PhD<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0some of my post-doctoral work<\/a>. Indeed, I also did a year\u2019s study abroad at Napier\u00a0way\u00a0<\/em>back in 2001\/2002 as part of my undergraduate studies (BA, Central Washington University<\/a>). And, in some ways, I never really left.\u00a0I cleared out my desk<\/a>\u00a0about 3 weeks\u00a0after graduation<\/a>, but I was still there working 1-2 days a week as I finished some post-doctoral work. And I was still working on the\u00a0DISIPRAC project<\/a>\u00a0(with Dr Peter Cruickshank<\/a>) when the COVID19 pandemic forced us all to work from home. Oh, and I submitted a paper for publication with another CSI colleague (Dr Gemma Webster<\/a>) from our \u201csocial media by proxy<\/a>\u201d work just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels strange returning when I never quite left, but mostly it feels comfortable. This feels like home; where I belong and, importantly, where my research belongs. I am looking forward to building a long and lasting research career here at Edinburgh Napier University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
