Minitrack: Social Impact and Information Systems
Track: Organizational Systems and Technology
January 5-8, 2020
Grand Hyatt, Kauai
For the 54th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we will continue our minitrack on Social Impact, although the name has changed slightly. The previous name was "Social Impact Organizing and Collaborating."
In this track, we seek to address advances in social impact research in technology-mediated environments. How does technology impact collective action? How do bots and other automation influence politics? How can fake news be better managed? How can firms help both causes and themselves through data philanthropy? How do indigenous groups promote cultural identity through digital means? How do marginalized people utilize digital technologies to make their voices heard? How are information systems used to benefit social welfare and when do they succeed or fail?
We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance our understanding of different forms of social impact in technology-mediated environments, including in organizational, inter-organizational, network, platform, collective, and interpersonal contexts. Papers can use any acceptable methodology and theory. We welcome papers at any level of analysis and encourage papers that take a cross-level and/or inter-disciplinary perspective. Some possible topic areas include but are not limited to the following:
* Social movements
* Emancipatory technologies
* Social impact
* Digital divide/Digital equity
* Digital activism
* Bots / Autonomous Agents
* Fake news
* Social collective action and connective action
* Indigenous movements
* Political digitization
* Cyberwarfare and the weaponization of non-military technologies
* Social inclusion
* Digital philanthropy and data philanthropy
* Digital innovation in social welfare organizations
* Digital saviors and dangerous champions
