Oops? Interdisciplinary Stories of Sociotechnical Error| Edges, Seams, and Ecotones: Error in Interstate Landscapes

It speculates on how a more integrative and generative notion of error may change our thinking around categories and classifications in sociotechnical systems more generally, inviting alternative and more embodied ways of knowing.
