We invite scholars (PhD Students and Academics) who are resident
in Africa to this inaugural paper development workshop. The
workshop is targeted at developing IS scholarship on the
continent. Specifically, the workshop is a platform for IS
scholars in the African continent to come with their work and get
feedback from highly established scholars and journal editors in
the field. The focus of the feedback is primarily to give guidance
and direction on how to develop the papers for publication in the
top international IS journals. The idea is to enable a vibrant IS
community that stimulates and encourages scholars on the continent
to have a voice and contribute to the advancement of IS
scholarship internationally. While we encourage papers developed
by African IS scholars residing in Africa, we welcome submissions
developed in collaboration with other IS scholars across the
globe. The event is planned as a pre-ECIS workshop taking place on
June 13th from 1pm-6pm. See
https://ecis2020.ma/workshops-and-ancillary-meetings/. Kindly
forward this call to potential participants that may be
interested.

Include a cover page that clearly indicates the Name and African
Affiliation of the Author(s)
