*Submission Deadline: October 5, 2020*
The AIS Women’s Network (AISWN) College is proud to sponsor the
1st International Research Workshop on Women IS, and Grand
Challenges. Although everyone suffers from the effects of
unsustainable development, women and children are often most
adversely affected. By bringing different perspectives to the
discussion of grand challenges, women have the power to make a
difference, but their voices are often missing in boardrooms,
policy-making, and research. The aim of this workshop is to
encourage research done about, for or by women that explores the
relationships between information systems and a variety of grand
challenges. The workshop will feature research papers and panels
focusing on societal ‘grand challenges’ of particular interest to
members of the AISWN College, including, but not limited to:
How IS supports humanitarian and sustainable migration
Healthcare IT, from a local level of supporting practitioners to
global issues of pandemic control and management
Promoting work-life balance, every day and during times of
enforced teleworking and home schooling
Using IS to understand and prevent hate speech and discrimination
The role of IS in restricting and improving diversity and
inclusion
Using technologies and systems to assist the elderly and promote
healthy, dignified aging
Green IS, and the use of IS to combat climate change and other
environmental threats
The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting in conjunction
with ICIS 2020. There will be a single track to maximize
interaction and participation. Participates will have the
opportunity to network with collegues (details will be announced
as the conference program is finalized).
