Value in repair may embed modes of human interaction with technology and with each other in ways that surface values as contingent and ongoing accomplishments, suggesting ongoing processes of valuation that can never be fully fixed or commoditized.
Data Vision: Learning to See Through Algorithmic Abstraction
- Samir Passi, S. Jackson

This paper examines how the often-divergent demands of mechanization and discretion manifest in data analytic learning environments and shows that effective data vision requires would-be analysts to straddle the competing demands of formal abstraction and empirical contingency.
The policy knot: re-integrating policy, practice and design in cscw studies of social computing
- S. Jackson, Tarleton Gillespie, Sandra Payette

- 15 February 2014
A model for understanding processes of change and emergence in social computing in which policy, practice, and design show up in the form of complex interdependencies, or knots, that collectively determine the shape, meaning, and trajectory of shifting computational forms is presented.

Collaborative rhythm: temporal dissonance and alignment in collaborative scientific work
- S. Jackson, David Ribes, Ayse G. Büyüktür, G. Bowker
- Computer ScienceConference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work
- 19 March 2011
It is argued that joint scientific work is organized around four separate registers, or 'rhythms' - organizational, infrastructural, biographical, and phenomenal - and that efforts to align such rhythms constitute an important and under-recognized aspect of collaborative work.
