Social justice has been recognized as a global issue by the United Nations (United Nations 2006). It refers to a state of fairness, moderation, and equality in the distribution of rights and resources in society (United Nations 2006). The United Nations Millennium Declaration, Article I, states that freedom, equality, and tolerance are among “fundamental values” and that “Human beings must respect one other in all their diversity of belief, culture and language. Differences within and between societies should be neither feared nor repressed, but cherished as a precious asset of humanity.”
The IS scholarly community has set itself apart in its longstanding ability to embrace and grapple with complexity at the nexus of digital technology and social phenomena. We see this special issue as an opportunity to help other academic disciplines and our external stakeholders to better understand the complexity underlying the potential role of technology in social justice. We believe that digital technology can have multiple roles – they can be seen as a means for revealing justice phenomena, as an instrument of delivering or breaching justice, as an algorithm for calculating or determining justice, and as a context that alters justice phenomena. What other roles could they have and what theories or frameworks can we offer to enable other fields and our external stakeholders to better understand technology’s role?
Submissions are due June 30, 2022. All papers must be submitted in the special issue category through MISQ’s ScholarOne submission site located at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/misq.
