Biographical Skecth

Dr. O’Connor’s research focuses on Photo Provocations (thinking in, with, and about photographs); Doing Things with Information (beyond indexing and abstracting); Structures of Image Collections (how much entropy can you stand?); Soft retrieval (pragmatic philosophy and computation); Interdisciplinary studies (erosion of boundaries so that “inter” will be irrelevant).
