- Abstract
Social Informatics was established in 1984 as the first academic programme in the world with this title. Parallel to this, Social Informatics as a specific scientific activity at the intersection of sociology, computer science, and social science methodology began to develop both locally and globally. The purpose of this article is to reflect on the development of Social Informatics in Slovenia, identifying three limitations that point to opportunities for further development: a) the reduction of Social Informatics to methodology and informatics; b) conflating the use of quantitative methods with the process of quantification in society; and c) sociology between technophobia and disinterest in the development of new ICTs. These limits are substantiated through relevant theoretical reflections and empirical studies, including the author’s own research. The conclusion proposes ways for Social Informatics and Sociology to work more synergistically.
