讲座人:Charlotte P. Lee讲座时间:2013.1.9 下午 1:30讲座地点:复旦大学张江校区软件楼 105(IBM 会议室)联系人:丁向华 dingx@fudan.edu.cnAbstract:We will report on research projects undertaken within the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) that investigate collaboration in the development of scientific collaborations. Our research takes what we call an infrastructural perspective in order to shed light on the social and organizational processes of scientific work and software development work so that we can better understand and therefore better support scientific practice. In order to support innovative scientific research, we must understand how data, software, and systems embody scientific practices and values. We use qualitative social science methods such as interviewing and observation to understand not only the social side of scientific work and information infrastructure development, but also the interaction between the social and the technical. Our work has included investigations of data sharing and software development in fields such as neuroscience, metagenomics, epidemiology, and computer science.Bio: Charlotte P. Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington. She has a B.A. in Sociology from the University of California, Berkeley, an M.A. in Sociology from San Jose State University, a Ph.D in Information Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles, and did postdoctoral research at the University of California, Irvine. Her professional experience is in system administration, database administration, interaction design, and project management. Prof. Lee’s research is in the fields of Social Informatics, Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Design Studies, and Science and Technology Studies. Her work focuses on empirically describing and theorizing the informational practices, artifacts, and collaborative structures of communities of practice working towards a shared goal: collaborative design. Her paper entitled the “Human Infrastructure of Cyberinfrastructure” was nominated for the Best Paper Award at the ACM's Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work.  Prof. Lee is the principle investigator of an NSF-funded project studying collaboration in the development of cyberinfrastructure using the Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis (CAMERA) as a case study and an NSF-funded project studying how expertise is leveraged in the development of cyberinfrastructure at two major supercomputing centers.(http://faculty.washington.edu/cplee/)
