SOCIAL INCLUSION: THE HEART OF BUILDING SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE WITH IS

In the 2021 Pre-ICIS research workshop, SIGSI explores the interplay between social inclusion and information systems to enhance sustainability and resilience for the social good. To enhance sustainability and resilience of our society, it is imperative that we do so with a critical lens for equity and inclusion. Consequently, we must understand the role of information systems in individuals' and groups' full participation in the normatively-prescribed activities of the societies in which they are embedded.

We invite submission of research ideas, extended abstracts, research-in-progress, and full papers related to the workshop theme of social inclusion in sustainable and resilient ecosystems and information systems. 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 thoughts 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: the role of social inclusion in facilitating innovation across boundaries, how to design IS and innovation ecosystems based on social inclusion principles; critical analysis of measures of efficiency and effectiveness concerning innovation; 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, digital inclusion, 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.
