Abstract

Designing and implementing civic technologies can be hard within public organizations such as government and nonprofit organizations. My dissertation research attempt to contribute towards understanding the socio-technical factors that influence the design and implementation of civic technologies using a practice lens. By studying three different cases of civic technologies design and implementation process (nonprofit social media use, civic hacking and data dive events), I aim to identify opportunity and challenges in designing and using civic technologies to support civic engagement.
