My empirical material draws from free software and open hardware development, as well as related, technology-oriented social movements. This places me in the intersection between Science and Technology Studies (STS), social movement research, and innovation studies. Theoretically, I draw from critical theory, labour process theory, and cognitive approaches within social movement theory. This focus on epistemological questions is particular relevant in a setting where politics to such a large extent is mediated through technology and technical expertise. </p></td> </tr> </body></html>
