Re: [NetBehaviour] Ada Lovelace Day, Again! 2010.
(Marc, I hope you will forgive me mailing you as a way of adding to your blog - we are all a little in shock at losing Leigh and I hope this short tribute will make others aware of her contribution) MY NAME: Ann Light URL: http://boundaryobjects.tumblr.com/ INSPIRED BY S. Leigh Star Leigh made a great contribution to our understanding of how categories work, what they leave out, how they contribute to creating identities... the technology of 'the system'. She was much more than that - a creative thinker whose rich metaphoric presentations gave depth and breadth to a range of information technology and scientific issues, whose gentle voice belied strong commitments and whose prose is - and will succeed her as - a plea for humanity and a protest against all types of reductionism, through careful and intelligent analysis. Our research community is today reeling from the shock of learning that she has just died. It seems apt to commemorate her with a nomination on Ada Lovelace Day. Her ability to express her sensibility as a woman was one of her many strengths... and she became well known for her investigation into the 'invisible' work that makes the world run, so often supplied by women. I worked alongside her for a couple of days in 2007 and it was inspiring. My blog is named for her. http://www.ischool.pitt.edu/news/article/star.php Ann -Original Message- From: netbehaviour-boun...@netbehaviour.org [mailto:netbehaviour-boun...@netbehaviour.org] On Behalf Of marc garrett Sent: 24 March 2010 18:57 To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity Subject: [NetBehaviour] Ada Lovelace Day, Again! 2010.
