We invite you to take part in the seminar “How technology and the social is (not) related” by professor Heidrun Allert (University of Kiel) on May 13th from 11:00 to 12:30 in Jakobi 5-B151, Tartu.
Heidrun Allert has said about the seminar: In social science we recently developed different approaches to analyse the use of technology. In this talk I will look at the genesis of technology. How are technology and the social related in the design of data driven infrastructures? How can we conceptualize "platforms" from a social and cultural science perspective? This approach is derived from Christiane Floyds work of the 1990th. She is a computer scientist asking, what computer science does. The approach allows to understand the development of technology as an open ended process.
