Ingbert's Social Informatics Field Exam Reading List Worksheet

From GSLISWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Note: This page has served its purpose in helping me prepare my Social Informatics Field Exam Reading List. Therefore, so (1) others feel comfortable adding and editing these lists, and (2) so that these lists are more wieldy, the contents of this page have been split off into the following pages:

Please see these other two pages for more up-to-date lists of readings.

Contents

[edit] Old Introductory Material

This page contains an incomplete list of theories, theoretical constructs, and methods that may be relevant to understanding Social Informatics, as well as some other related readings. I'm compiling this list in order to compose my Field Exam reading list. I hope that this list is also useful as a list or glossary of references, so people can quickly get an idea of different theories which may be applicable to the problems they are encountering. This page is a work in progress, and I am creating it without having read about half the items on the list. So please feel free to reorganize the readings on this list. Also, I'm not sure that the readings I have selected are necessarily the best readings on any particular subject. Therefore, please feel free to add anything and everything I've missed, even if you think it might be only tangentially relevant. You'll be helping me out, and possibly other people as well...

This list is still under construction, and will be re-organized, and possibly expanded. I will (in general) not be deleting works from this page. I have started the culling process to produce the list of 30 readings I will be using for my exam in the Likely List section of this document.

The ordering of the sections, and the ordering of the theories, is arbitrary. For the benefit of those who are using this list to compile their reading lists after me, here are what the prefixes mean:

(F) = from a previous field exam reading list;

(C) = from the old Core Reading List;

(S1) = from the first Seminar in Social Informatics of Spring 2006;

(!) = new.
