i-Studio 5 seminars

To mark the opening of its re-styled fifth floor research studio, the Information Systems Group wishes to invite colleagues to a first round of interdisciplinary seminars. These will be informal events aimed at enjoying the new space, experiencing our new location and taking the opportunity to open out to other departments and disciplines in the spirit of restless intellectual enquiry.

This term our first round of five seminars covers a wide array of topics, ranging from the social study of information technology (Kallinikos), to the relevance of communicative action for the democratic process in organisations (Calloni), to this year's Turing Prize award winner in informatics (Nygaard), to issues of cities design and architecture (Burdett) and the architecture of accounting systems and risk (Power).

We look forward to meeting you and holding a fruitful interdisciplinary discussion of these topics. We hope in this way to establish new intellectual and personal links around i-Studio 5.

The lectures will be held in the new Information Systems studio on the fifth floor of Tower One (see How to find us).

For further details of these lectures please contact Sarah Emery, s.j.emery@lse.ac.uk.

These seminars are supported by two.net.
