Forwarded from the Sociotech list...
LSE Departement of Information Systems is holding a workshop on the
Social Study of Information Technology
On March 19 and 20 the Department will hold the SSIT Workshop to
review the state of research and debate in the field of information
systems from a social sciences perspective. The workshop will call
upon the contributions of leading international researchers, both from
outside and inside the LSE. They will be asked to present their
understanding of how the social sciences can contribute to the study
of the development and use of information technology in contemporary
society. We have invited three of the most imaginative scholars from
Scandinavia and the United States: Professor Richard Boland of Case
Western Reserve University, USA, Professor Bo Dahlbom of Göteborg
University, Sweden and Professor Ole Hanseth of Oslo University,
Norway to present new contributions and speak about their perceptions
of the future direction of the field.
There will also be presentations from some of the LSE staff active in
this area including : Professors Ian Angell, Claudio Ciborra and Bob
Galliers and Drs Chrisanthi Avgerou and Carsten Sørensen.
The aim of the Workshop is to take stock of the accomplishments so far
and to lay out new research directions of interest to scholars of
different disciplines: media and communication studies, international
relations, sociology, philosophy, economics, government, and many
others.
There is no fee to attend this workshop, please send us a request to
attend the workshop or contact Ms Emma Peel on +44 (0)20 7955 6398 or
