An Interview With Bonnie A. Nardi

摘要

A prominent scholar in activity theory and computer-mediated communication, Bonnie A. Nardi has published a body of work that is influential in many fields. Perhaps best known to researchers in human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), her scholarship influences conversations in other areas, such as anthropology, computer science, and technical communication. Her work came to the attention of many in the mid-1990s with the publication of Context and Consciousness: Activity Theory and Human-Computer Interaction (Nardi, 1996), a book that has served as an invaluable introduction to activity theory. Three years later, she published the coauthored Information Ecologies: Using Technology With Heart (Nardi & O'Day, 1999), a popular book that is widely cited for drawing important connections between human values and technology.
