Author: Graham Button
Graham Button gained his Ph.D. from the University of Manchester in 1976 where he was also the faculty research assistant. He subsequently joined the University of Plymouth, first as a lecturer in sociology, then as a senior lecturer and principal lecturer, with sabbatical periods at the University of California, Los Angeles and Boston University. In 1992 he joined the European Lab of Xerox's Palo Alto Research Centre -EuroPARC- as principle scientist. Shortly thereafter he created the Studies of Technology, Organisations and Work program and became its area manager.
In 1999 he was appointed the director of the Cambridge Laboratory of Xerox Research Centre Europe, and in 2002 he became the laboratory director of XRCE in Grenoble, France. His major research interest is the organization of work and interaction at work, and with how research into these topics may be used in the production of novel workplace technologies. In addition to his core interests in work, interaction, organizations and technology, he also undertakes research into the philosophy of mind and has contributed to the debates surrounding artificial intelligence and computational models of mind.
