Janet’s research focuses on transport, mobile technology and collaborative communities, underpinned by
a sustained interest in the social experience of time.
Her funded research has been instrumental in developing the concept of slow travel and, more recently,
analysed mobile enabled collaborative communities.
Janet is currently exploring how the Internet of Things may transform reciprocal practices to bring about
more sustainable travel, health and wellbeing benefits for a variety of communities.
Janet has discussed the concept of ‘slow travel’ and making travel an enjoyable part of the holiday experience in the Irish Examiner.
