starting next week are filling up. Don't miss this opportunity to be part
of the next wave of change in the IS field

Many IS researchers are looking for more substantive coverage and
discussions surrounding information systems (IS) theories, not just about
theories in IS research, but specifically fresh and original indigenous IS
theories. It is inconceivable for a field so relevant to the era of the
hyper-connected society, disruptive technologies, Big Data, social media,
the weaponization of information and "fake news" to not be brimming with
its own native theories. It is towards this goal that the “Advancing
Information Systems Theories” series of volumes was launched in 2019. The
onset of COVID-19 delayed the publication of the first volume, which was
finally published last June. This September, we are pleased to offer a
three-part interactive Zoom session in which the authors of the chapters in
that volume will share the highlights of their reflections on important
aspects of advancing IS theories. Volume 1 (
https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030648831) focuses on why IS theories
are needed, what are theories and how is theorizing in IS done.
Registration is required. Registration will also allow access to recordings
of the session. Register here to participate
