Abstract

"The annual Consortium for the Science of Sociotechnical Systems (CSST) workshop at the iConference perpetuates a tradition of providing sociotechnical scholars with a place to surface areas and domains ripe for new or renewed attention, highlight synergies that have gone unidentified previously, and establish new relationships. This year's workshop, ""Breaking Down and Building Up: Accelerating Sociotech Scholarship in the iSchool Community,"" will pivot around the dual orientation of community building and scholarly action; the full day agenda will combine a morning of introductory talks and discussion with an afternoon of hands-on feedback sessions built around project ideas and paper drafts. We are particularly keen this year to bring together scholars from a wide variety of disciplines, nationalities, and histories so that our work together can itself break down barriers between ideas, schools, countries and perhaps continents to establish new mechanisms and pathways for integrated sociotechnical scholarship."
