"If ubicomp values material engagement, then the loss of tactile play and the designed relegation of interactivity to the screen together suggest that the colonizing goals of ubicomp research have precluded its games from effectively embodying the technological values of the field."
Here's something interesting. Technicalese usually loves the acronymization of terms ("PC" for Personal Computer, etc.). Here we see a merging of terms: ubicomp for ubiquitous computing.
Interesting sentence.
I'd take that "together" out of there, though, and replace it with "both" or "both together": "then [both] the loss of tactile play and the designed relegation of interactivity to the screen suggest that..." That "together" where it is chops up a bit the flow of the sentence to my ear. These sentences are already difficult to read as they are. You'd want to make them as easy and pleasant to read as possible.
Just out of curiosity, what are the "the technological values of the [ubicomp] field" that "the colonizing goals of ubicomp research have precluded its games from effectively embodying"? If I may be so bold as to ask? :-)
(hey, don't you have to "defend" your dessertation in front of a panel of "judges" or something like that? This could be one of their questions! :-) You never know!)
