Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your papers to the track
“Digital Inclusion in Education, Work, and Society” at ECIS 2020.
***** Description *****
Recent developments in digital technology have been reshaping
almost all aspects of our lives, including work, education, and
social life. Despite the many opportunities digital technologies
bring about, they come with challenges that the academic community
cannot ignore.
This track covers an evolving idea that is highly relevant to the
Information Systems field: Digital Inclusion. The goal of this
track is to raise awareness and generate scholarly debates about
the opportunities and barriers for digital inclusion in our ever
increasingly interconnected world. While the role digital
technology plays in society has received attention in the last few
years, research in this area is still fragmented. The need to
produce a coherent body of literature that theorizes on the
consequences of digital technology on individuals and social
groups is still a pending task.
In line with the conference theme, Liberty, Equality, and
Fraternity in a Digitizing World, this track responds to the
aspiration for a more just society, in which digital technologies
are an integral part. In this track, we welcome submissions -
either as full research or research in progress - that analyze the
role digital technologies play in different dimensions of
contemporary life.
