Paul Duguid
Paul Duguid ‹write to paul at sociallifeofinformation.com›
is currently a visiting scholar in School of Information Management and Systems (SIMS)
at the University of California, Berkeley, and Senior Researcher at the Center
for Science, Technology, and Society at Santa Clara University. In September, 2005, he will become Professorial Research Fellow at Queen Mary, University of London, where he was an ESRC-SSRC Visiting Fellow in the spring of 2005. From 2002 to 2005, he was
part-time visiting professor at Copenhagen Business School,
Department of Organisational and Industrial Sociology.
In Spring, 2003, he was
maitre de recherche at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. From 1989 to 2001 he
was a consultant at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center.
Prior to that he was a member of the Institute for
Research on Learning.
In fall 2005, he will be co-teaching a course on the "Quality of Information" in the School of Information Management and Systems (SIMS) at the University of California, Berkeley. The course in part explores his interests in questions of the authority, authenticity, and warranting of information. He is also working in the not unrelated field of brand and trademark history.
His interest in multidisciplinary,
collaborative work has led him to work with social
scientists, computer scientists, economists, linguists,
management theorists, and social psychologists. His writing has appeared in a
broad array of scholarly fields and journals including
anthropology, business and business history, cognitive
science, computer science, design, education, economic
history, human-computer interaction, information science, management,
organization theory, and wine history. Duguid has also
written for a variety of less
specialized publications, including the Times Literary
Supplement, the Nation, and the Threepenny
Review.
