“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 />
