Presentations
Linkosophy: Explaining Information Architecture
April, 2008 - IA Summit, Miami FL
At the request of the conference organizers, I did a sort of redux of the previous year’s Summit presentation, but condensed that part and added on a lot more about what this “infospace” thing is, and what structure means for it, as well as clearing up some semantic confusion about identity, practice & profession. Seemed to go over pretty well.
Recommend that you read it full-screen to see the notes clearly, on SlideShare.
UX Design as Communities of Practice
August, 2007 UX Week, Washington, DC
Still working with the Communities of Practice model, but digging deeper into the theory to discover why our identities get so wrapped up in our work and our particular histories as designers.
I may have bitten off more than I could chew for a 40 minute presentation, but hopefully it got some conversations started, at least.

Architectures for Conversation II
April, 2007 Philly CHI
An updated, slightly expanded version of the 2007 IA Summit preso. If you’re going to download one of them, this is probably the better one. (In fact, I killed the other one off.)
