Lorraine Kisselburgh

Research

Lorraine’s research interests lie at the intersections of organizations, technology, and difference.  Her current research projects include social network analyses of the social structure of privacy in online communities; cross-cultural and gendered constructions of science, technology, and engineering work and careers; collaboration in games-based learning environments; and the assessment and development of health communities of practice.  She is also currently developing an ethnography of cyborgian identity.
