Description:
Why Did I Never Hear About “Social Studies of Information” Before?
This full day workshop builds a new community of scholars interested in exploring
the potential of the “Social Studies of Information” (SSI) as a meta-identity
for information research informed by the humanities and social sciences.
We are inspired by the broad field of STS (for either “Science and Technology
Studies” or “Science, Technology, and Society”). Calling this the “Social
Studies of Information” acknowledges the shared object of study around which
iSchools are built.
STS-influenced work within iSchools has been balkanized across a range of functional classifications and disciplinary identities, sometimes seen as marginal or esoteric. This includes much work in areas such as information policy, information ethics or philosophy of information, values in design, software studies, socio-technical systems, archival studies, information organization information systems, Kittlerian media studies, information history, community informatics, internet studies, and social informatics. SSI embraces the full range of information-related work, cultures, practices, and institutions rather than being focused exclusively on the use of information technology identities. We are not seeking to supplant the existing identities held by these scholars, but rather to create opportunities for them to discover common ground.
So
What Actually Happens At the Workshop?
We are structuring the workshop to maximize interactivity and involve as many
people as possible. Most of the time will be spent either on roundtable
discussions, interactive sessions allowing participants to introduce their own
ideas and research to the community, or breakout groups gathered round tables
to discuss particular topics of interest and report them back to the larger
group. We will also be encouraging participants to join informal lunch and
dinner groups, and using social media and old fashioned email to keep the
community together before, during, and after the workshop.
Who
Will Be There?
We are making an effort to recruit lively, articulate and intellectually
versatile scholars from the full range of fields covered by SSI to participate
in roundtable sessions and serve as breakout session moderators. Our current
provisional program includes:
Isn’t
All This Rather Vague?
Yes. However we will constantly be updating our workshop program at www.socialstudiesof.info/workshop14.
So look there instead.
Do
You At Least Have Some Goals and Outcomes?
Naturally.
