Part.Public.Part.Lab grows out of recent work in three areas: 1) recent research in science and technology studies on public participation and public engagement; 2) studies of open source, open innovation, free software and the explosion of related “user-generated” projects and problems from web 2.0 to wikileaks; and 3) an aliquot of organizational theory as it relates to knowledge production, circulation and governance. The lab exists to foster discussions and research at the intersection of these areas and to explore both the theoretical implications of the changing nature of participation and the empirical cases and concerns of actors involved in trying to make participation occur, or occur differently.

The purpose of this site is to examine the legal, economic, and social processes which contribute to the privatization of various resources, including technologies, natural resources, and cultural forms. Our intention is that the blog will consist not of a series of detached posts on various topics, but rather as an interconnected set of discussions where we attempt to develop our thinking on these issues as a whole and where older posts remain open venues for continued dialogue.
