Dr. Menisha Patel is a Research Associate at the Oxford e-Research Centre, working on the RESPONSIBILITY Project. Menisha recently completed her Phd at King’s College London within the Department of Management. The primary focus of this qualitative study was the investigation of, rendering visible of and assessment of the existing practices of occupational members within the asymmetrical constraints of a “command and control” environment. This was accomplished through the use of audio-visual data and a methodological framework based on ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. It extended to the assessment and derivation of implications for a prototype, complex technological system to support work in such environments. For the past six years since graduating from her undergraduate degree in Business Management at King’s College London, Menisha has been involved in a number of similar qualitative studies. These have included investigating occupation practice in various domains to derive sociological and technological insights, and also conducting quasi-naturalistic experimental studies to investigate the use of and convey implications for prototype technologies.
