Folks, I'm very pleased to be able to tell you that 5 out of the 6 works-in-progress papers for this year's SIGCIS workshop are now available online, linked from the online program. Please have a look at them before the conference and consider attending either the dissertations-in-progress session in the morning, or the works-in-progress session in the afternoon. The dissertation session, in particular, with works ranging over topics in disability studies, telegraph information infrastructure, and the history of gender and sexuality promises to engender a lively discussion, and the afternoon works-in-progress session, with papers looking at communities and networks in the development of computing will no doubt promote terrific discussion as well. The direct link for the papers is: http://mypages.iit.edu/~mhicks1/SIGCIS2011WIP/ I look forward to seeing many of you at SHOT in a few weeks. Best, Marie _______________ Marie Hicks, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of History of Technology Lewis Department of the Humanities Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, IL mhicks1@iit.edu www.mariehicks.net
