*** Background ***
All forms of oppression are connected. They are connected by common elements of power and control ranging from harsh to insidious-from violence and death to norms of exclusion and inherited privilege. 
It is this connectivity, consequence, and subtly of oppression that fuels social inclusion (SI) research. SI provides a wide-angle lens through which we can understand the social acceptance and support of people 
with diverse identities, including gender, age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic status, and disability.

*** Workshop Theme: Social Inclusion at the Crossroads ***
Following the general conference theme, the 2016 SIGSI workshop theme is "social inclusion at the crossroads". Crossroads reflect an Irish tradition; it is a place between communities were people gather to 
meet, share, and celebrate. Social inclusion at the crossroads unites disparate perspectives, research disciplines, methods and values, for social justice.

*** Workshop Highlights ***
The workshop will involve examination of crossroad issues via paper presentation, roundtable discussions, panels, and speakers.  It is not necessary to submit a paper or a research idea in order to 
attend the workshop.

Keynote speaker:  AIS President Jason Thatcher (Clemson University)
Panel: Cathy Urquhart (Manchester Metropolitan University); Andreas Eckhardt (German Graduate 
School of Management & Law), Deborah J. Armstrong (Florida State University) 
Incoming Editor-in-Chiefs of The Data Base for Advances in Information Systems, Stacie Petter and Tom Stafford, will be available at the workshop to discuss publication opportunities.

*** Call for 1-page "Research Ideas" ***
We invite colleagues to submit 1-page "research ideas" that focus on the workshop theme of social inclusion at the crossroads. These could be (but are not limited to): 
a.	An idea that someone is contemplating but not yet started
b.	An idea that is being developed or cutting edge research topic that the author(s) would 
like feedback on
c.	An idea that the author(s) are seeking collaborators for
