Mads Bødker (b. 1974)

MA in Film- and Media studies from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark

PhD from the IT-University of Copenhagen, Denmark, dept. of Digital Aesthetics and Communication/Innovative Communications.

I am currently Assistant Professor at Copenhagen Business School, Center for Applied ICT. Here I work with interaction design (particularly for mobile services), methodological and design aspects of Human-Computer Interaction, as well as social and collaborative media. My areas of interest include:

• Tourism and digital media
• Prototyping for business and leisure technologies
• Interaction design, user interfaces, and usability
• Sketching and design methods
• Human geography and place-making
• Ethnography for IT design, particularly sensory/visual ethnography

Further, I like to look at the pragmatics of media arts and the influence of the arts in Interaction Design, design-as-research as an actual methodology, the culture of Open Source development, and business/organizational aspects of social and mobile media. Stuff like that.

I teach quite a bit at both the IT-University of Copenhagen (within eBusiness, primarily design-in-business and user-centered design related courses) and the the Copenhagen Business School (within HA and CM.IT, primarily social informatics/social media related courses)
