Hello everyone -
I just wanted to share a post that I had asked Andy Russell to write for
the CASTAC blog. I think the piece does a really nice job of laying out
some of the stakes of this call, especially through its look at a concrete
case study. For me at least, this latter really drives home the empirical
myopia that can come from organizing research projects around a focus on
innovation:
"Stories about technology that revolve around geniuses, labs, and
innovation efface the everyday labor of the technological workforce. They
leave us with a strangely distorted view of the production and provision of
technological systems."
But please, read the whole thing for yourself! The link is here:

Best,
Ian
