Biographical details

Dr. Sebastian Boell joined the department of Business Information Systems at the University of Sydney Business School in 2014. He investigates how information and communication technologies (ICT) shape how organisations are able to create understanding about themselves and their environment. Seeing organisations as complex, continuously changing social systems Sebastian explores foundational questions about information systems, such as:How do ICT shape organisational information? and, How do organisations change and adapt with and through information over time?

Research interests

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have a broad influence on how organisations are able to collect, store, provide and process information. ICT are thus shaping what organisations and individual actors within organisations know and can know about the organisation itself and its environment. Seeing organisations as complex, continuously changing social systems Dr. Boell asks questions, such as: How does technology shape organisational information?; How can we understand information systems? ; Or, how do organisations change and adapt with and through information over time?

Methodologically and conceptually, Sebastian’s work draws from histography, qualitative research methods, practice theory, process philosophy, sociomateriality, the late Wittgenstein's philosophy of language, social systems, interpretive work, virtual ethnography, as well as scientometric and bibliometric approaches. Sebastian also has an interest in Free and Open Source Software and the history of computer games.

Sebastian has broad research expertise as he has investigated ICT in various research projects including the use of technology for remote work (telework) and the role of ICT in shaping organisational information over longer time-frames. He also engages with problems beyond a narrow disciplinary focus, engaging with problems such as: how to approach literature search and analysis in the social sciences, or how scholarly claims of contributing to knowledge can be persuasively argued for. Finally, Sebastian investigates philosophical questions regarding the ontological status of the existence and nature of information and information systems.

Sebastian’s transdisciplinary and innovative research received several nominations and awards at international conferences including theInternational Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), theAustralasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS), and theAmericas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS). Sebastian also received awards for his PhD and MA dissertations (ASIST ProQuest Doctoral Dissertation Award 2013, Professor Weinstock Memorial Price, VFI Award 2008). He has published in leading international journals acrossInformation Systems, Information Science, as well asWork and Organizational Studies. Journals his work has appeared in includes:Journal of Information Technology (JIT), Information and Organisation (I&O), New Technology Work and Employment (NTWE), Communications of the Association of Information Systems (CAIS); the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST), andScientometrics.
