Knee Deep in the Weeds-Getting Your Hands Dirty in a Technology Organization
For many months our organization had us performing "technical grunt work." Upon reflection, getting deep into our company's technological system put us in the unique position of understanding, at a much finer level of detail, the entire assemblage of people, objects, systems, and organizations that make up the world that this technology is becoming a part of. Our paper recounts how we eventually recognized our engagement in technological grunt wo…
On Empathy, and Not Feeling It
Recently Tracy was asked whether a plan to have everyone in the office go about their day with an "impairment" would be a good way to "practice empathy" and learn more about assistive technology usage. Her response was that while wearing prosthetics demonstrates the shock of becoming impaired, it is questionable what it reveals about living a full life with an impairment. "Empathy" is getting around, especially in the worlds of design thinking, s…
Techno|theory deathmatch: An agonistic experiment in Theory and Practice
Theories about humans and their relationships with technology are part of a lifeworld shared by many corporate ethnographers, although individuals' practices for engaging with theory can vary considerably due to factors such as disciplinary training and workplace norms.

I describe some of the cosmologies of life, death, time, and the management of the future that circulate within cryonics communities, and I draw out relationships between cryonics practice…
