Abstract
Designing information technology involves the responsibility to be aware of the possible consequences that arise from its use. This can hardly be achieved from a single discipline’s viewpoint. The paper describes an approach that is currently being developed to support a multidisciplinary perspective on the reciprocity between society and computers. It is a work in progress that is being developed by a network of scholars located mainly at the University of Hamburg, Department of Informatics.
