AMCIS 2011 WORKSHOP REVIEW OF PHILOSOPHY-RELATED PAPERS

Following up from the SIGPhilosophy meeting at ICIS 2010 in St. Louis, MO,
this tutorial and workshop is an initiative from the SIG to reach out to AIS
members who are interested in philosophical topics in IS, or wish to brush
up on the foundations of IS from the philosophical perspective. We are
fortunate to have a philosophy-trained presenter from the local community
who will share with us her insights into historical and contemporary aspects
of science and technology studies (STS) and theory of knowledge.



As part of the tutorial and workshop program (please refer to program
outline), we invite prospective attendees to submit their philosophy-related
works, or works-in-progress to be reviewed by other attendees and the
program facilitators. Attendees are expected to read the papers before
attending the workshop and will be expected to provide written reviews to
authors. Discussions surrounding the reviews will be held in the second half
of the full-day tutorial. Student papers will be given special
consideration.



The target audience expected to benefit from this program include but not
limited to:

1.     Anyone interested in the relevance of philosophy for information
systems

2.     Students starting their doctoral programs

3.     PhD candidates who are completing their chapters of their proposals
or dissertations

4.     Authors writing philosophy or conceptual papers for future
conferences and journals

5.     Students and faculty wishing to brush up on the theory of knowledge
and the philosophy of science

6.     Students and faculty interested in social and moral aspects of
science and technology (including race, gender, environmental concerns,
funding decisions, national security issues, etc.)



Any philosophy, epistemology, theory of knowledge or related papers are
welcomed.  Submit papers to Nik R. Hassan via email (nhassan at d.umn.edu)
before July 15, 2011 with an intention to attend the tutorial/workshop at
AMCIS 2011.


Please include "CFP AMCIS 2011 SIGPhil Workshop" in the subject header of
the email.
