Call for Papers: 25th AMCIS
August 15 - 17, 2019, Cancun, Mexico

Mini Track Title: Social Theory in Information Systems (STIR ’19)
Track: Social Inclusion and Socio-Technical Issues
Dear Colleagues,
We welcome papers for “Social Theory in Information Systems
minitrack for AMCIS 2019.
Description
This year we are proud to celebrate the 23rd consecutive year of
the Social Theory in Information Systems Research minitrack. Since
1996, scholars and researchers have presented cutting edge
research, using social theory in their work. Please join us in
Cancun for this milestone!
STIR’19 solicits papers that use social theory in IS research
drawing upon such approaches as sociotechnical theory, critical
theory, social informatics, and organizational theory. We are
interested in highlighting research that critically examines the
constitution of information and communication technologies (ICTs),
and their roles in communities, organizations, and society. We are
particularly interested in research that addresses the main theme
of the conference “New Frontiers in Digital Convergence.”
We seek work that is innovative in terms of multi- and
trans-disciplinary uses of social theory and methodologies to
study the digital convergence, and work that focuses on the
sociotechnical impacts of new and emerging technologies on people
in their organizational and social lives across social and
technical boundaries. We are interested in questions about how we
interact with ICTs in our work and social lives in ways that help
and hinder the move towards more useful, productive, and happier
lives.
As digital convergence has become more pervasive, research has
focused on its technical affordances, such as the ways in which
communication and information exchange are mediated by multi-modal
and increasingly seamless combinations of voice, text, images,
video, streaming media and other digital channels. Of equal
interest are the sociotechical implications of the ways in which
digital convergence is changing organizational and social life.
Issues might include critical examinations of the shifting
boundaries between the online and offline worlds, producers and
consumers, and people and ICTs. They might also include the social
impacts of digital convergence within and between organizations.
The STIR minitrack has been exploring new frontiers in information
systems research for years and we look forward helping you present
your work at the conference.
Suggested Topics
In addition to research aligned with the conference theme we are
also interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that
uses social theory to study and understand:
• The implications of social networks for organizations and social
groups
• Conceptual and empirical work focusing on the ways ICT can
promote or hinder social inclusion
• The relationships between ICTs and people as they participate in
online communities and virtual teams
• Online communities of practice, their processes and outcomes
• Unintended consequences of technology implementation and use in
organizations and in social life
• Scientific collaboration and scholarly communication as enabled
and constrained by ICTs
• The impacts of social computing on our social and work lives
