Sociotechnocanonicon
The Sociotechnocanonicon Great Books Discussion Series allows members of the CDSC to build their familiarity with some of the classic works which are foundational to the collective's research program.
The discussions are open to all, and facilitated by senior members of CDSC in order to introduce the broader context of the work. Meetings are held in person and aired over Jitsi for remote participation. Themes we often try to cover including collective action, social movements, participatory-democracy, networks, sociomateriality, sociotechnical systems, and cooperation.
This page covers the Summer 2022 version of the reading group. Links to previous years are at the bottom of the page.

Papers
As some of our group members suggested, we may want to have some sessions for reading selected great papers together! Here you are welcome to leave recommended papers' references that you think are potentially of interest for our group. Common topics may emerge when there are multiple recommendations so that we can organize a topical reading session!
