-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] MIS Quarterly Call for Papers: On Sociomateriality of Information Systems and Organizing Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 13:21:12 -0600 From: Jan DeGross degro003@umn.edu To: aisworld@lists.aisnet.org

Guest Editors: Dubravka Cecez-Kecmanovic, University of New South Wales Bob Galliers, Bentley University Ola Henfridsson, Viktoria Institute Sue Newell, Bentley University Richard Vidgen, University of New South Wales

Submission Deadline: September 11, 2011

We invite papers that offer fresh thinking and an innovative approach to the intertwining of the social/human and material/ technological of IS and organizing and the ways to research, understand, and conceptualize IS-organizing sociomateriality. Whether submitting empirical or theoretical/conceptual papers, we encourage authors to question the accepted separation of the technical and the social and other taken-for-granted assumptions about IS and organizations. We also encourage authors to explore novel research methodologies that are not based on conventional dichotomies between idealism and materialism, subjectivism and objectivism. We seek intellectually and conceptually challenging, as well as practically relevant and inspiring papers that contribute to debates and stimulate advancement of knowledge in our and related fields.

Papers that develop sociomaterial theories of IS and organizing, papers that present rich field studies of practice that go beyond illustration to demonstrate and build sociomaterial theory, and papers that explore the epistemological and methodological implications of sociomateriality are particularly welcome.
