Her work on Invisibility is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Feminist technoscience.
Her most cited work include:
- Institutional Ecology, `Translations' and Boundary Objects: Amateurs and Professionals in Berkeley's Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, 1907-39: (6176 citations)
- Sorting Things Out: Classification and Its Consequences (4155 citations)
- Steps Toward an Ecology of Infrastructure: Design and Access for Large Information Spaces (1545 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary scientific interests are in Knowledge management, Epistemology, Information infrastructure, Boundary object and Engineering ethics.
Her work carried out in the field of Knowledge management brings together such families of science as Control, Decision support system and Ethnography.
Her study in Epistemology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Social psychology, Invisibility and Human–computer interaction.
Her study of Boundary object brings together topics like Boundary, Architecture, Identity, Viewpoints and Typology.
A majority of her Viewpoints research is a blend of other scientific areas, such as Interactional expertise, Trading zones, Boundary-work and Artificial intelligence.
