[SIGCIS-Members] Call for Ideas!

[Lori Emerson]

Dear all, I just wanted to thank you for sending in these great resources
for infrastructure studies - I came across the term "critical
infrastructure studies" a couple months ago and got quite excited about how
it seemed more expansive and more useful for describing my projects on labs
and the pre-history of the internet than either "media archaeology" or just
"media studies." But now I wonder what the extra "critical" denotes since
there's a somewhat well established field already of I.S.? Any thoughts?

yours, Lori
