Biography

Joseph T. Tennis is a Professor at the University of Washington Information School. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Linguistics, as a member of the Museology Interdisciplinary Faculty Group, and as a member of the Textual Studies faculty at the University of Washington. His research centers on classification theory and is primarily concerned with examining how classification systems change over time, how diverse design requirements are invoked by different communities, and how these systems can interoperate in a web environment. He is increasingly interested in the ethics of information organization, and novel ways to evaluate structures in diverse and varied work practice contexts and discourses. He gave the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment & Ranganathan Memorial Lectures in 2017.
