This fall I’ll be attending three conferences. At each I’ll be exploring a different facet of my research on building infrastructure for the long-term.
E-Social Science — Ann Arbor — ‘Six Tensions in Developing Long-Term Infrastructure’: Along with Tom Finholt I’ll be presenting on six tensions that actor’s describe as they go about the work of developing scientific information infrastructure.
Social Studies of Science — Montreal — ‘Consequences of the Long-Term Today’: How are the goals of developing ‘long term cyberinfrastructure’ impacting the funding, organization and practice of science today?
GROUP — Sanibel Island — ‘Across the Scales: Designing Infrastructure for the Long-Term’ : Along with Tom Finholt I’ll be presenting on our research which explores actor’s work as they simultaneously seek to engage institutional, organizational and technological ’scales’ to create persistent informational resources for the sciences.
