We are happy to continue our seminar series in December with a talk by Ilpo Helén:
3 December, 14:15–15:45
What does ”sociotechnical” imply?
Conceptual fieldwork with a case of data mining in healthcare
Ilpo Helén’s talk is about a trend in many discussions of social sciences to replace “social” with “sociotechnical” both as the subject of study and as an attribute. He elaborates what “sociotechnical” as a concept possibly implies in the context of this tendency, with focus on Bruno Latour’s critique of sociological theory and his suggestion of ‘sociology of associations’. Finally, Helén asks how the idea of ‘sociotechnical’ and Latour’s ‘sociology of associations’ would work in an empirical study, using a case of datafication-in-the-making in healthcare as an illustrative example.
Ilpo Helén is a professor of sociology in University of Eastern Finland
