  1. Light Structure in the Platform for Experimental Collaborative Ethnography (PECE) Presented by: Lindsay Poirier Science and Technology Studies Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute With thanks to co-authors Dominic DiFranzo and Kristine Gloria

  2. Ethnography and leveraging “explanatory pluralism”

  3. Tensions of Structure Computer Scientist View Ethnographer View • Structure needed for: • Putting data somewhere • Data discoverability • Data integration • Over-structuration can: • Lock into a single mode of theorizing • Organize contradictions and competing epistemologies out of the content

  4.
