Description:

ExperienceYuweiLin is a whimsical sociologist (PhD, York, UK) who enjoys working oninterdisciplinary research projects. Sheis currently SeniorLecturer in Digital Technologies at the Department of Media,Culture and Language at the Universityof Roehampton. Priorto that, she was Senior Lecturer in Journalism Studies in theDivision of Communications, Media and Culture at the University ofStirling, CourseLeader for BA (Hons) Media and Communications, BA (Hons) Media andCreative Writing in the Schoolof Film and Media at the Universityfor the Creative Arts at Farnham, Lecturer in Future Media andActing Programme Leader for BSc (Hons) Computer Video Game andMA Social Media in the School of Arts and Media at the University ofSalford, Research Associate at the ESRC National Centre for e-SocialScience at the University of Manchester, and postdoctoral researchfellow in the business school at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.Shereceived her BA in Economics and a Diploma in women’s and genderstudies from the National TaiwanUniversity in 1999. Afterwards, she worked for one year as afull-time research assistant in environmental economics at theNational Taiwan University for the research project EnvironmentalEconomic Indexes for a Sustainable Taiwan - Vision and Strategy funded by the TaiwanNational Science Research Council.InOctober 2000, she joined Scienceand Technology Studies Unit (SATSU) at the Departmentof Sociology at the Universityof York and started her PhD research. Under the supervision ofProfessorAndrew Webster, her doctoral thesis, entitled “HackingPractices and Software Development: A Social Worlds Analysis of ICTInnovation and the Role of Open Source Software , completedin December 2004, analyses the socio-technical relationships betweendiverse actors involved in innovation processes of ‘free/libre opensource software’ (FLOSS). Her research contributes to ourunderstanding of hacker culture that she defines as aconcept articulated, interpreted, negotiated and performed by diverseactors in various forms, and also to the empirical studies on theFLOSS development. Theoretically speaking, her research also shedsnew light on how innovation, emerging in a dynamic and informalsetting, can be codified, verified and deployed in the formalknowledge system. She has successfully defended her thesis on the 2ndDecember 2004 and her examiners are Professor Ian Miles (Universityof Manchester) and Professor Andy Tudor (University of York).Yuwei,then, worked for a year as a postdoctoral research fellow on theMETISproject at the Department of Information Systems at the VrijeUniversiteit Amsterdam with ProfessorMarleen Huysman from March 2005 to 2006. Meanwhile, shereceived some fund from the PRIMEproject to work with Prof. Andrea Bonaccorsi and Dr. Cristina Rossiat the Universita di Pisa (Italy) on the ELISS project, conductingcase studies on Free/Libre Open Source Software Projects.Yuweirelocated back to the UK in 2006 working asResearchAssociate at the coordinating hub of theESRC National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS) at theUniversity of Manchester.Her main research at NCeSS focused on gathering user requirements ofe-Research technologies, and understanding socio-technical dynamicsin the development, implementation and adoption of e-Researchtechnologies, which range from tools for formalising knowledge (e.g.,ontology, metadata, folksonomy), for discovering knowledge (e.g.,data mining and text mining), and integrating and processinginformation in different forms (e.g., textual, audio and visual).Apart from research, Yuwei had also taken up administrative andmanagerial responsibility of several research projects, including theJISC-funded“Using Text Mining for Frame Analysis of Media Content“ (acronym:TMFA) project. Priorto taking up the position at UCA Farnham, Yuwei worked asLecturerin Future Media in the Schoolof Arts and Media at the Universityof Salford (2009-13) where she led two programmes: BSc (Hons)Computer Video Games and MA Social Media. She was awarded ateaching development grant by the Higher Education Academy to Herteaching is student-focused, research-informed (sometimesresearch-led), and combinational of theory and practice. The HigherEducation Academy Apartfrom her academic work, Yuwei has been playing an active role inFLOSS communities. Shecontributed FLOSS-relatedarticles to theLinux-Magazine (2003 – 2010) edited by Patricia Jung. She isalso an OpenStreetMapmapper. Before relocating to Farnham, she used to beregular participant in various Manchester-based gatherings fordigital media workers,includingManchester Open Data,Social Media CafeManchester, FSFEManchester, and ManchesterFree Software.Shekeeps ablog http://hiyashi.wordpress.comto document her academicactivities in the UK Higher Education. RESEARCHINTERESTSYuwei'sresearch largely centres on socio-technical dynamics in openinnovation systems. She has looked into Free/Libre Open SourceSoftware (FLOSS) development, open data, citizen science and parallelcrowd-sourcing, participatory cultures in the wild. She has alsoundertaken usability studies, user requirement analysis in theinterdisciplinary collaborative projects working with computerscientists, software engineers, musicians and performers. Herwork falls into the areas of Science and Technology Studies (STS),Sociology of Knowledge and Innovation, Gender and Women studies,digital cultures (especially in relation to hacker culture anduser-participatory culture), human-computer interaction (HCI) andComputer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW).Additionally,her research seeks to innovate social methodology and methods in twoways: on-line research methods by which researchers use new ICTs as amedium for social research itself, and embodied arts-ledpractice-based creative research methods. PUBLICATIONSAND PRESENTATIONS ORCIDID https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9798-5165have been participating in the recent debate about big data, privacyand surveillance in the media.

A bloghas been set up by the blogger Jessfor this workshop.gave a talk titled 'Women'sCollective Action in the Free Software World' at the workshop'PoliticalEconomy of Peer Production' at the Nottingham Trent University,15-16 November, 2007. I argued that voluntary work in free softwareis not necessarily unpaid labour; people are motivated by a varietyof matters to get involved in free software. However, the majority ofthe rewarded and visible labour is coding jobs largely done by men.In this talk, I drew on the stories about women's practices indeveloping and using free software, and tackled such overemphasis onthe value of coding and men's work. I called for attention toinvisible values of mutual helping, mutual learning, participating,and sharing experiences. I also called for acknowledgement of women'sparticipation (and hence diverse ways of coding and hacking) in thefree software world. have co-authored the following papers which were presented at the3rde-SocialScienceConference at Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, 7-9 October 2007.An action-oriented ethnography of interdisciplinary social scientific work (with Rob Procter, Peter Halfpenny, Alex Voss, Kenny Baird)Ontology building as practical work: Lessons from CSCW (with Dave Randall, Wes Sharrock, Rob Procter, John Rooksby)Aligning Technical and Human Infrastructures in the Semantic Web: a socio-technical perspective (with Jenny Ure, Rob Procter, Mark Hartswood, Kate Ho)NCeSS Project: Data Mining for Social Scientists (with Jon Gibson, Rob Procter, Peter Halfpenny, Firat Tekiner, James Nazroo, Colette Fagan)Developing an e-Infrastructure for Social Science (with Michael Daw et al.)'SituatedDesign and Universal Maintenance: A Software Evolution PatternInspired by the Free/Libre Open Source Software Development'.
