Issues and Social Inclusion</span> track focuses on information systems
research areas impacting the intersection of humans and technology. It provides
a venue for scholars of multiple Information Systems and Technology research
areas to present research related to a broad range of social-technical issues
as well as social inclusion issues. This track creates an area for interested
researchers to establish platforms for future research leading to comprehensive
research streams dealing with information systems and social, ethical, political,
and cultural aspects from the individual, organizational, or societal focus.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>

which focus on issues relating to diversity and social exclusion within an Information
Society. The track also addresses under-represented groups within the IT field

partnership provides a greater awareness and an opportunity to focus related
research into a more comprehensive research stream.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>
