Overview
Information scientist and STS scholar, co-author of 'Sorting Things Out: Classification and Its Consequences' with Susan Leigh Star. Bowker co-edited the volume 'Social Science, Technical Systems, and Cooperative Work' in which Agre's 'Toward a Critical Technical Practice' appeared.
Bowker's work on infrastructure, classification, and the politics of information systems shares deep concerns with Agre's work on institutional analysis and capture.
