after copenhagen

The digitalSTS workshop in Copenhagen was a blast. It got me, and my collaborator Janet Vertesi, really excited to keep the project going. Here is our report, and expect to hear more about this soon!

The folk at the University of Syracuse iSchool have been kind enough to invite me to speak on my new research. I'll be presenting my work entitled 'Flexibility relative to what? Change and the protean research infrastructure' which broadens argues that we, as analysts, have largely seen change to infrastructure as a matter of the sociotechnical (technologies of collaboration and data), this talk will also argue for the need to focus on institutional change (funding and regulatory regimes) and the almost completely ignored facet of phenomenotechncial change (change to objects of research, instruments and scientific practice).

I'll also be presenting research at the iConference, for the sociotechnical systems folk. I'll be focusing on my work on materiality and organizing.
