My paper entitled “Emerging Technologies-in-Practice: A Communication Framework of Convergence of Technologies-in-Use” with William Barley and Paul Leonardi was accepted at ICA 2011. In the paper, we discuss how individuals’ particular ways of using technology can evolve into group practices. Importantly, we take a second look at existing theories about how this happens by paying closer attention to communicative processes and HCI.

We’ll be presenting the paper at the conference in Boston in late May.
