Dear colleagues, I would like to invite suitable candidates to apply for a
visiting researcher position at the University of South Africa (Roodepoort,
Johannesburg) (minimum stay is 2 months, maximum stay is 2 years). I am
particularly interested in researchers who are interested in research on
Humanities-enriched Information Systems, for example:
* Hermeneutics in IS
* Linguistics/language aspects in IS
* Arts in IS
* History of IS
* Philosophy in IS
* Law and IS
* Theology and IS
We would like to dig deeper on various issues, such as:
· How does/can Humanities (linguistics, arts, philosophy, history, law,
hermeneutics) *theories* enrich IS?
· How does/can IS *theories* enrich the Humanities?
· How does the Humanities enrich IS on an applied/practical level?
· How is IS applied to the Humanities on an applied/practical level?
Other topics that we are interested in, are:
· A critical evaluation of the dichotomy between positivism and
interpretivism as Information Systems research philosophies from the wider
perspective of the philosophy of science
· Exploring the alignment of positivism and interpretivism with empiricism
and rationalism in Information Systems theory
Please see the Unisa call for postdoctoral fellowships attached. Please
contact me for more details at kroezjh at unisa.ac.za
The call is open from 20 July to 21 August 2015.
Sincerely
Jan (kroezjh at unisa.ac.za)
