Minitrack: Social Impact and Information Systems
Track: Organizational Systems and Technology
January 5-8, 2020
Grand Hyatt, Kauai
http://hicss.hawaii.edu
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
