Research infrastructure and the long-now - Guest David Ribes

11/14/22 • 80 min

Information Systems DIGEST Podcast

Host Casandra Grundstrom is joined by special guest Associate Professor David Ribes. David joins us from the University of Washington in the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering and is the deLAB director. He is a sociologist of science and technology and focuses on the development and sustainability of research infrastructures. David's work investigates the long-term changes in objects of research in varying domains including ecology, particle physics, and health (HIV/AIDS).
In this episode, we reflect on (cyber)infrastructures from a sociotechnical perspective. Further considering how what we build for research now impacts the long-term outcomes and what those unintended consequences might be; real-world examples from David's cases are discussed in ecology and health. We then shift to consider the long-now in connection with sustainability and conducting research.

Connected Health - Guest Minna Isomursu

Host Casandra Grundstrom is joined by special guest Professor Minna Isomursu. Minna is a professor at the University of Oulu at M3S the largest software engineering research unit in Finland. Her main research interests are related to software engineering and challenges in development in the health sector. She is particularly interested in using service design as an approach for translating complex ecosystems of stakeholders and their needs for creating value.
In this episode, we reflect on what is connected health and how it connected us (spoiler: Minna was my PhD supervisor). Further considering how service design can be applied to help us to account for perceived value in complex healthcare environments as value does not have the same meaning for everyone. We then shift to consider Minna's recent publication in IJMI about Finnish Physicians and their use of digital media and if it has been disrupted, rupted, or misrupted due to the pandemic. Rounding out our discussion, we ruminate on interdisciplinary research and training as a PhD as well as the boundaries between industry and academia.
Thank you all for listening, hope you all have a nice summer; episodes will resume again in the fall.

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) - Guest Myriam Lewkowicz

Host Casandra Grundstrom is joined by special guest Professor Myriam Lewkowicz. Myriam works at Troyes University of Technology where she heads the pluri-disciplinary research group Tech-CICO. She is interested in defining digital technologies to support existing collective practices or to design new collective activities. This interdisciplinary research proposes reflections and approaches for the analysis and the design of new products and services to support cooperative work. The main application domains for this research for the last fifteen years have been healthcare (social support, coordination, telemedicine) and the industry (digital transformation, maintenance). She is a member of the program committees of the main conferences in Cooperative Work, Social Software, and Human-Machine Interaction, chairs the European scientific association EUSSET, and is deputy editor-in-chief of the CSCW journal "The Journal of Collaborative Computing and Work Practices".
In this episode we are inspired by the upcoming ECSCW conference hosted by NTNU in Trondheim this year (2023) from June 5th-9th and thus we examine the historical movements that were formative for the conference and the field. Myriam shares with us her wealth of knowledge and lived-experience in CSCW, with a special emphasis on the community and the orientation towards practice and design. Consider submitting a workshop proposal, journal paper, poster and more to this welcoming community: deadline is February 20th, 2023.
