Research Statement

Center for Work, Technology, and Organization

Hinds studies the effect of technology on groups and the interplay between information technologies, information sharing, and human judgment. She is currently conducting research on the affect of remote and distributed work on employees' shared understanding of work, the affect of intellectual property agreements on information sharing, and the limitations of expertise. She has conducted extensive research on the dynamics of geographically distributed work teams, particularly those spanning national boundaries. She explores issues of culture, language, identity, conflict, and the role of site visits in promoting knowledge sharing and collaboration. Hinds also conducts research on professional service robots in the work environment, examining how people make sense of them and how they affect work practices.
