4th Post-ICIS SIG Social Inclusion (SIGSI) Research Workshop 2018,
in San Francisco, USA
Sunday, December 16, 2018, 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Call for Participation: SOCIAL INCLUSION AND THE INTERNET OF
PEOPLE, DATA, AND THINGS
In the 2018 Post-ICIS research workshop, SIGSI casts a social
inclusion lens on the permeation in our lives of digital and
mobile media and the interplay of people, data, and things. We
live in a world where we are always connected with other people
and communities, and interacting with digital and mobile media has
become integral to everyday life and routines. Consequently, it is
imperative that we understand the role of these technologies in
individuals’ and groups’ full participation in the normal,
normatively-prescribed activities of the societies in which they
are embedded.
We encourage submission of research ideas, extended abstracts,
research-in-progress, and articles related to the workshop theme
of social inclusion and the internet of people, data, and things.
In addition, we welcome relevant theoretical, empirical, and
intervention submissions that relate to the mission of the AIS
Special Interest Group on Social Inclusion (SIGSI). SIGSI promotes
research, pedagogy, and outreach on all aspects of social
inclusion in the field of Information Systems (IS). The goal of
such efforts is to stimulate greater diversity of thought and
people in AIS and the IS field overall, and participation of all
our members in a more socially-aware and inclusive discipline.
Relevant research topics include: winners and losers in a world
characterized by “exponentially growing data and increasingly
autonomous things”; access and opportunity created by the internet
of people, data, and things; the gender gap in the IS field;
gender minorities, inclusion of the differently-abled, inclusion
of neurodiversity in IT, intersectionality of identities (such as
ethnicity, gender and socio-economic class), socioeconomic
divisions that impact access to or use of technology, the digital
divide, under-served groups, and a range of topics related to
human diversity, and the “haves” and “have nots” in interconnected
digital environments.
Submitted research can be conceptual, analytical, design-oriented,
or empirical. The workshop will include a keynote address,
“ignite” lightning talks, and roundtable discussions of submitted
work.
