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.
