-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] African IS Paper Development Workshop - [Pre-ECIS 2020) June 13th (1pm – 6pm) Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2020 15:50:56 +0000 From: Abayomi Baiyere aba.digi@cbs.dk To: aisworld@lists.aisnet.org aisworld@lists.aisnet.org

We invite scholars (PhD Students and Academics) who are resident in Africa to this inaugural paper development workshop. The workshop is targeted at developing IS scholarship on the continent. Specifically, the workshop is a platform for IS scholars in the African continent to come with their work and get feedback from highly established scholars and journal editors in the field. The focus of the feedback is primarily to give guidance and direction on how to develop the papers for publication in the top international IS journals. The idea is to enable a vibrant IS community that stimulates and encourages scholars on the continent to have a voice and contribute to the advancement of IS scholarship internationally. While we encourage papers developed by African IS scholars residing in Africa, we welcome submissions developed in collaboration with other IS scholars across the globe. The event is planned as a pre-ECIS workshop taking place on June 13th from 1pm-6pm. See https://ecis2020.ma/workshops-and-ancillary-meetings/. Kindly forward this call to potential participants that may be interested.

*Format The workshop will feature roundtable discussion of submitted papers with assigned editors/mentors. Furthermore, we plan one or more panel sessions to foster and encourage community building and continuity of this initiative.
