I am an adjunct professor at the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley; a professorial research fellow at Queen Mary, University of London; and an honorary fellow of the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development at Lancaster University School of Management. From 2005-2006 I was a visiting fellow at the Center for Science, Technology, Society at Santa Clara University. From 2002 to 2005, I was part-time visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School, Department of Organisational and Industrial Sociology; and in Spring, 2003, maitre de recherche at the École Polytechnique in Paris. From 1989 to 2001 I was a consultant to the Office of Central Management at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center; prior to that, a member of the Institute for Research on Learning.
At Berkeley, I co-teach the "Quality of Information" (info 218) and the "History of Information" (Info 103) with Geoffrey Nunberg.
My current research interests include the history and development of trademarks, and I am currently engaged in a three-year project of archival research funded by the ESRC of the UK and administered through Queen Mary, University of London.
