the built-environment at De Montfort University. His research interests cover a range
of policy-relevant issues relating to the human–technical interface particularly as it

Mark has a particular interest in the characteristics of integrative research,
the development of the trans-disciplinary (generic–cross-cutting) skills necessary
to facilitate this and has published extensively in this area and is the author of
Integrative Method and Environmental Change. He has undertaken and managed cross-disciplinary
qualitative research within environmental projects for European,
UK research agencies and commercial organizations, and has worked in Community
Development projects and for several years in the construction industry.
