Critical Information Studies
I liked the concept of Critical Information Studies when Siva Vaidhyanathan first made his bibliographic manifesto available on his website. After a semester of “Doctoral Research and Theory I” at the School of Information, I like it much, much more. I’m currently working on a paper about copyright research in “the field” I study in, and CIS provides a great way to look at the field. More on this when I’m done.

Hey, Carlos, thanks for posting this info about CIS. It sounds very interesting to me too — a way to integrate all the ip knowledge into a broader field of study. I vacilate between wanting to leave it in the dust and wanting it to somehow stay relevant without dominating what I do over the next several years.
Sorry that we didn’t connect before your presentation last week. If you would still like to talk, let’s set a time, ok?
