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.
