How do people work together—and how can technology help? This research cluster focuses on the systems, tools, and relationships that support collaboration at every level—from families and teams to institutions and global communities.
We study how individuals and organizations coordinate their actions, share information, and respond to change. Our work investigates the complex sociotechnical systems that shape and are shaped by collaboration, including physical, digital, and social infrastructures.
This research brings together systems thinking, theoretical grounding, and interdisciplinary methods to understand, design, and strengthen the infrastructures that support a thriving and resilient society.
