DESCRIPTION Rapid change in the early twenty first century has brought about significant disparities in life chances as societies struggle to adapt to new socio-economic and cultural conditions. For instance, traditional patterns of work and employment are changing as work becomes scarce; societies are becoming increasingly multi-cultural; individuals are living longer and have much greater expectations of lifestyle and leisure opportunities in later life; citizen journalists are challenging the mainstream media by reporting news via social media such as YouTube, Twitter and blogs. Information and communication technologies (ICT) provide new pathways and solutions to problems of social inclusion within and across underserved communities, diverse populations, and economically challenged nations. Involvement with ICT � at the individual, organizational, or consumer level � may engender a greater sense of individual and collective purpose that helps to produce more socially inclusive and cohesive communities.
The purpose of the Social Inclusion Track is to provide a forum for the sharing of ideas and knowledge about the value of ICT as a means of fostering social inclusion in the midst of societal change. An overview of this track, including descriptions for the six mini-tracks, is located at http://ist.psu.edu/faculty_pages/lkvasny/AMCIS2010/. Each of the mini-tracks listed below welcome conceptual/theoretical research and qualitative/quantitative empirical research on ICT and social inclusion.
