Who has been your favorite ARNIC seminar guest? Ramesh Srinivasan – his presentation about how our epistemologies of technology shape how we think about, design, and use technology. It touched on key questions for me re:the social construction and experiences of tech.
Within the ARNIC network – who’s work most interests you and why?
Well, I’ve been working with them so I might be biased… Hernan for his political economic approaches to examining digital access and infrastructures, and Francois for his spatial outlook, questions, and approaches to digital issues.
