Hoffman

Andrew S. Hoffman is a postdoctoral researcher at Radboud University’s Interdisciplinary Hub for Security, Privacy and Data Governance (iHub). An ethnographer of information infrastructures, his work draws from a diverse set of fields including science & technology studies, computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), and human-computer interaction (HCI) to probe how the increasing datafication of society is fundamentally shifting work practices, collective life, and the very means by which we know ourselves and our material world. His work is primarily focused on the shifting dynamics of large-scale scientific collaboration; the engagement of users and other stakeholders in the design of sociotechnical systems; the practices and epistemic implications of knowledge representation in data-driven
