Hello all,

We continue our bi-weekly reading group this Friday, July 13th, at 2PM. We will be reading the paper "The turn to practice in HCI: Towards a Research Agenda" (CHI 2014) by Kari Kuutti and Liam Bannon.

A follow-up to our discussion last time, this paper explores the divide in HCI between two different kinds of investigations - the investigation of interaction (often in a controlled lab environment) and the investigation of practices in technology use, which takes a somewhat broader view.

Simon will "champion" the paper this week by (re-)reading the paper thoroughly and leading the discussion, highlighting why he thinks the work is important, and offering his own critique of the author's conclusions.

The meeting will take place at Crimson Teas (415 Spadina Ave), which is a 5 min walk from Bahen. Dim sum snacks and tea will be provided!

Best, Jacob
