Practice-based CSCW research is an orientation towards
empirically-grounded research embracing particular
methodological approaches with the aim of creating
new theory about work, collaboration, and cooperative
technologies. While practice-based CSCW research has
several strong roots in both North America and Europe:
ECSCW and Europe remain central to this tradition. In
this panel we will discuss the practice-based research
approach asking questions such as: What is the nature
of Practice-based Computer Supported Cooperative
Work research? How is it different from other CSCW
research approaches? What is the relationship between
these traditions in terms of conceptual approaches,
methodologies and open questions for future research?
This panel will discuss openly the diversity and
commonalities between different CSCW traditions - and
argue that practice-based CSCW research is not
something that happens only at ECSCW. ECSCW is not
a geographical boundary for a certain type of research
- but rather a place for a specific research tradition and
approach with links to many academic places in the
world.
