“The Poetics of Infrastructure”<br />

Muncie Center for the Arts<br />

Leigh Star’s (communication.ucsd.edu/ people/f_star.html) research<br />

is in the sociology of science <strong>and</strong> technology, <strong>and</strong> is especially<br />

concerned with new information technologies <strong>and</strong> life sciences. She’s<br />

a professor of library <strong>and</strong> information science at the University of Illinois,<br />

Urbana-Champaign. Leigh has analyzed work practices <strong>and</strong> knowledge<br />

production in a range of venues, including museums, laboratories,<br />

hospitals, libraries, <strong>and</strong> high-tech research <strong>and</strong> development sites. Her<br />

analytic approach draws on symbolic interactionism, activity theory, <strong>and</strong><br />

feminist theory. Publications include Sorting Things Out: Classification<br />

<strong>and</strong> Its Consequences (1999), The Cultures of Computing (1995),<br />

Ecologies of Knowledge: Work <strong>and</strong> Politics in Science <strong>and</strong> Technology<br />

(1995), <strong>and</strong> Regions of the Mind: Brain Research <strong>and</strong> the Quest for<br />

Scientific Certainty (1989).<br />
