New Sociotechnical Insights in Interaction Design
Call for Participation
Workshop on sociotechnical insights in interaction design (Sociotech-ID'08)
May 30th in BCS Offices in London, United Kingdom
Programme now available at http://iit.tvu.ac.uk/sociotech-id08/Programme.htm
A joint event of the BCS Interaction and Sociotechnical groups
Aims and goals of the workshop
Diverse areas of the social sciences explore and conceptualize the relation between people, society and technology under the rubric of 'sociotechnical', which can bring interesting insights into interaction design. Organizational studies of technology adoption have a well defined conceptual framework known as sociotechnical systems theory with established principles. However, the situation is not the same for interaction design research, which gives diverse uses to the term 'sociotechnical' when involving social methods and theories. Methodological perspectives like ethnography, ethnomethodology and activity theory have had a clear impact in interaction design, but the potential contribution of other areas of the social sciences has not become so clear and uniform despite the increased development of the pervasive and social proxy - mediating and mediated -- characters of interactive systems.
This workshop will bring together good examples of research in interaction design that refer to the term 'sociotechnical'. The challenge is to achieve some level of 'translation' despite differences between disciplines whose main interest is understanding social phenomena and disciplines whose main interest is the design of interactive systems. It is hoped the workshop will identify opportunities for a sociotechnical knowledge framework in interaction design.
