Kursets centrale temaer er informationsinfrastrukturer i et historisk og et postfænomenologisk perspektiv, design strategier, brugerinvolvering, brugerkonstruktion, og hvordan dette studeres etnografisk.
Hensigten er at give deltagerne en grundlæggende, balanceret viden om, hvordan man kan undersøge IT-systemer og socioteknisk agens fra et ståsted indenfor STS.
Kurset, der forudsætter en solidt kendskab til STS-metoder, -teorier og -tilgange, introducerer deltagerne til analyser af informationsinfrastrukturer med et konkret fous på organisatoriske praksisser. Kurset undersøger, hvad computer-baserede informationsinfrastrukturer gør ved organisatorisk praksis og hverdagsliv, hvordan en såda strukturering kan studeres, og hvordan vi kan gøre noget med dem. Spørgsmålet om agens rejses med vægt på aktuelle studier af socioteknisk medieret figurering af mennesker og brugere.
