Are you familiar with the work of Kari Kuutti, Suzanne Bodker and others in
the Scandinavian IS tradition who have done work on AT and systems
development, plus the book edited by Bonnie Nardi (who may be lurking here
somewhere) 'Context and Consciousness'?
I'd be interested to know a bit more about your project and where you're
doing it - I don't think there are many people in the UK who are interested
in AT in this context and there's a lot of interesting things that could be
done.
