Join us for the next Chapter dinner program -- at Intel, 6:00 - 8:30 p.m. on October 7th.
Businesses and other organizations are increasingly hiring anthropologists and other ethnographically-oriented social scientists as employees, consultants, and advisors. What projects are they involved in and who are their internal champions? Are are they involved with development of products and services for external customers? Do they work on internal deployment? What do they research, how, and what can they tell us about external customers as well as our corporate culture and perhaps our own internal customers?
Our speakers will be Melissa Cefkin and Alexandra Zafiroglu. Cefkin is a business and design anthropologist in the Service Practices group at IBM's Almaden Research Center. She has a PhD in anthropology from Rice University. Zafiroglu is a senior researcher with Domestic Designs and Technologies Research at Intel Corporation. Her PhD in cultural anthopology is from Brown University. Lisa Sammon, SLA member and professional in the Intel Library Research Group, will moderate the discussion.
The evening will begin with a light meal and social hour -- an opportunity to chat with SLA colleagues, our host Lisa Sammon, and the evening's speakers.
We are grateful to the Intel Library Research Group for hosting and partially underwriting this program.
