I moved to the University of Michigan from the University of California at Irvine in January of 2000 to be Dean of the School of Information. That was the best job I have ever had, working with the best people you can imagine. (I still work with them, but just not as often or as closely as I'd like.) I moved to the University of Michigan Provost's Office in June of 2006, and am presently the Vice Provost for Academic Information. This position created to work with the university's IT infrastructure at all levels, as well as the university libraries and other knowledge assets, as we prepare the University of Michigan and all of higher education for a major transformation that is emerging for the coming decade.
I continue to serve on the Council of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC), established by the National Science Foundation through the Computing Research Association (CRA). I also am now a member of the Advisory Committee for Cyberinfrastructure and of the Advisory Committee for the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences at NSF, as liasion between the two. I moved off the Advisory Committee for the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate in 2008, and also ended my role as a consultant to the CISE Directorate in 2008.
In the past few years I've published some things. Among them is a paper on distributed collective practice in transport that appeared in the June, 2006 issue of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work. It examines the ways in which deep information infrastructure has increasingly placed control of larger physical infrastructure into the hands of individual users. In the case of this paper, I focus on the air passage infrastructure, and describe how this shift in access and control enalbed the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
I spent four months in Germany in spring/summer of 2005 at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, as Fulbright Distinguished Chair in American Sudies. This visit was supported by the German Fulbright Commission as well as the university. I was hosted by the Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften (the faculty of economnics and business) and the Institut fur Wirtschafts Informatik (institute for information systems).
Margaret Hedstrom and I have continued our work on epistemic infrastructure. The original paper we did for the OECD a few years ago. It was remade into a recent paper published in a book from MIT Press . The former is a longer and more complete explication of the ideas; the latter is shorter and focuses on one part of the overall argument.
Kalle Lyytinen and I published our paper on Automotive Informatics in Transforming Enterprise, edited by Bill Dutton, Brian Kahin, Ramon OCallaghan, and Andrew Wycoff, and published by MIT Press in 2004.
Margaret Elliott and I have published a paper, A Common Information Space in Criminal Courts: Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) Case Management Systems in the Proceedings of the 28th Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences, 2005.
Ken Kraemer and I published a paper titled Information Technology and Administrative Reform: Will E-Government Be Different? in the International Journal of Electronic Government Research
I was elected a Fellow of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) in late 2005. I was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2007.
