Her interdisciplinary work bridges technology studies with social theory, focusing particularly on how digital systems transform public sector work, community engagement, and spatial experiences in both physical and virtual environments. Her research interests center on the intersection of technology and social organization, with particular emphasis on eGovernment initiatives , knowledge networking in public service agencies , and the spatial dimensions of technology use . Professor Davenport's work explores how digital systems reshape organizational practices, community participation, and our fundamental understanding of place and presence. Her theoretical contributions include applying computerization movements framework to eGovernment studies and examining how communities of practice function in micro-level online organizations. Analysis of her publication record reveals consistent thematic development across two decades, with early work focusing on knowledge management foundations evolving toward sophisticated examinations of digital citizenship, spatial computing, and the socio-technical dimensions of public sector transformation. Her research demonstrates increasing integration of spatial theory with information systems analysis, culminating in edited volumes exploring the interdisciplinary perspectives on space, technology, and spatiality. Professor Davenport has actively contributed to the academic community through supervision of doctoral candidates and participation in significant research projects. Her collaborative work extends across multiple European Commission-funded initiatives including DEMO-Net (Network of Excellence on eParticipation), OPAL (The Partner Lens), and SmartGov, demonstrating her leadership in advancing research on digital governance and participatory systems. As a supervisor, Professor Davenport has guided numerous PhD candidates through their research journeys, serving as Director of Studies or Second Supervisor on projects examining topics ranging from eParticipation spaces to the adoption of ICT in Malawian education. Her supervisory approach reflects her interdisciplinary perspective, supporting research that bridges technical systems design with deep social analysis.
