Shreeharsh Kelkar is interested in understanding the social and political economic aspects of computing: the relationship between computing systems and organizations, the new forms of data-collection and measurement (both individual and collective) that computing systems allow, and finally the new ways of acting and knowing that these give rise to. More generally, he is interested in the social and cognitive dimensions of knowledge: how it is constructed, used and transmitted, and the role of instruments, inscriptions and representations in this process.
