Forum<BR></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We are pleased to announce details of the Social
Study of IT Open Research Forum (SSIT-ORF7), 28/29 March 2011. This will follow
the eleventh SSIT Workshop of the LSE ISI Group. The Open Research Forum will be
an opportunity for IS researchers to present their work and discuss a broad
range of themes relating to the SSIT in an informal, constructive
setting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Primarily, the Forum provides an ideal opportunity
for PhD and junior IS researchers to present their work and raise questions on
issues of their concern-substantive, theoretical, methodological or practical.
It is also a useful experience for other researchers wishing to understand what
SSIT is like, though their research approach may be different – e.g. from an
engineering or business perspective.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>In previous years the Forum attracted also
experienced SSIT researchers, supervisors and PhD programme directors and we had
stimulating discussions about the merits and challenges of SSIT research. We
expect that this year the Forum will have a similar mix of PhD, experienced and
non-SSIT researchers and that it will accommodate challenging discussions on the
nature of SSIT<SPAN class=771033914-17012011>.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
