About
I'm a postdoc in IST at Penn State. My research interests focus on semantic interoperability across sociotechnical systems, philosophy of information and information ethics. My interdisciplinary approach draws source material from cognitive science, culture, philosophy and technology. Read more about me at www.djsaab.info.
The issues I explore are necessarily interdisciplinary and require the integration of theory, method and praxis from disparate disciplines such as anthropology, cognitive science, computer science, and philosophy–including philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and ethics. There is a flavor of critical theory in my writing, as well as vivid threads of cultural schema theory and Heideggerian phenomenology. I tend to favor a hermeneutic approach to scientific inquiry, but my dissertation work could also be rightly compared to Habermas’ universal pragmatics. I’m interested in looking at complex sociotechnical systems in situated informational contexts with respect to agency, adaptation, communicative understanding, cultural/institutional structures, cultural schemas, ethics, hermeneutic discourse, networks (self-organizing, social, structural), ontology, phenomenology and semantics.
