Peter Morville on Emancipating Information Architecture

<p>My guest today is Peter Morville. Peter is a pioneer in the discipline of information architecture. Among many other distinctions, he co-authored with Lou Rosenfeld <em>Information Architecture for the World-Wide Web</em>, the classic O’Reilly “polar bear” book on the subject. This is Peter’s second appearance on <em>The Informed Life</em> podcast. I asked him back because I wanted to learn more about his recent call for practitioners to emancipate information architecture.</p> <h2>Listen to the full conversation</h2> <p><a href= "https://theinformeddotlife.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/the-informed-life-episode-47-peter-morville.mp3"> Download episode 47</a></p> <span id="more-972"></span> <h2>Show notes</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/morville">Peter Morville on Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://semanticstudios.com">Semantic Studios</a></li> <li><a href="https://intertwingled.org">Intertwingled.org</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2QkTlAa"><em>Information Architecture: for the Web and Beyond</em></a>, by Louis Rosenfeld, Peter Morville, and Jorge Arango</li> <li><a href= "https://theinformed.life/2019/05/26/episode-10-peter-morville/"><em> The Informed Life</em> episode 10: Peter Morville on Seductive Information</a></li> <li><a href= "https://semanticstudios.com/emancipating-information-architecture/"> <em>Emancipating Information Architecture</em></a> by Peter Morville</li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/35uNC2H"><em>Don’t Think of an Elephant!</em></a> by George Lakoff</li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3jrHJs3"><em>Sorting Things Out: Classification and its Consequences</em></a> by Geoffrey C.
