Reading Group June 24th 2005

The next reading group meets to discuss "The Mind or the Heart? It Depends on the Definition of ‘Situation’", a lecture by the late Claudio Ciborra, formerly professor of Information Systems at the London School of Economics. Although Ciborra specifically critiques Information Systems research that relates to the concept of ‘situatedness’, the argument is sufficiently self-contained so as to not warrant a thorough knowledge of IS theory. We encourage those in other disciplines to join us in CITO as I believe the message of the paper has implications for research in other domains. This will be a forum for open discussion, disagreement, if you like, and putting forward your own stance on related issues.
