[Sigia-l] Fw: [Asis-l] call for new sig interest and membership--interdisciplinary "critical theory"

[Ron Day]

Dear SIG-IA members,

A member from SIG-IA suggested that the announcement below about a new SIG
on Critical Theory be posted on your Information Architecture list.  It
originally went out to the general ASIST list and some other SIGS.  My
apologies for the delay in sending it to your list and for the cross
postings.  If you are interested in joining it, please follow the
instructions, below.

Once again, my apologies for the cross-postings.

Ron Day
