[AISWorld] SIGPhil's Philosophical dialogues: the story behind the work with Allen S Lee

[SANTA, Mijalche]

"SIGPhil's Philosophical dialogues: the story behind the work" is an AIS SIGPhil's activity to promote the philosophical discourse in IS field.

The purpose of the SIGPhil's podcasts "Philosophical dialogues: the story behind the work" is to go behind the published work and seek answers to why philosophy, how philosophy, when philosophy and with whom. Together with the quests talking about their experience we will explore the history, the ideas, the reasoning, the process, the challenges and the funny things that happened and made contribution to what they did and published. We will also discuss what did not got published and the future of their philosophical work. All that in 45 to 60 minutes.

If you want to engage or just explore the philosophy of science in information systems you should listen these podcasts.

The first "SIGPhil's Philosophical dialogues: the story behind the work" podcast is with prof. Allen S Lee. Allen S. Lee is Professor Emeritus of Information Systems at Virginia Commonwealth University. He was a full professor at VCU from 1998 to 2017. He served as associate dean at both VCU and McGill University, as editor-in-chief of MIS Quarterly, and as a founding senior editor of MIS Quarterly Executive. He also served as Paul Paré Professor of Information Systems at McGill University, associate professor at the University of Cincinnati, and associate and assistant professor at Northeastern University. His research program over more than three decades has involved identifying basic lessons from the philosophy and history of science and extending them, in the information systems discipline, to show not only how qualitative research can be done rigorously, but also how quantitative research equally needs to live up to the requirements of science. He has taught doctoral seminars on systems theory, social theory, and qualitative research methods, as well as undergraduate database courses.

He is a Fellow of the Association for Information Systems, a member of the Circle of Compadres of the Information Systems Doctoral Students Association (ISDSA) of the KPMG Ph.D. Project, and a founder of Chinese American Professors of Information Systems. In 2015, he received the LEO Award for “lifetime exceptional achievement in information systems” from the Association for Information Systems.

We talk about his experience and work on philosophy in IS, how he started, how he progressed and his contribution to IS discourse.
