[AISWorld] AMCIS 2022 CFP: Social Theory in IS Research (STIR 22)

[Connolly, Amy - conno3aj]

Social Theory in Information Systems Research (STIR '22)

STIR'22 solicits papers that use social theory in IS research drawing upon such approaches as sociotechnical theory, critical theory, social informatics, and organizational theory. We are interested in highlighting research that critically examines the constitution of information and communication technologies (ICTs), and their roles in communities, organizations, and society. We are interested in questions about how we interact with ICTs in our work and social lives in ways that help and hinder the move towards more useful, productive, and happier lives. We are particularly interested in research that addresses the main theme of the conference. We welcome papers that are innovative in terms of multi- and trans-disciplinary uses of social theory and methodologies to study the ways in which people are using technology to transform or create innovative digital organizations, engage in digital entrepreneurship, and work that focuses on digital innovations pre, during and post global pandemic; the changing roles of ICTs from planning for utopian futures to responding to current dystopian times; the intended and unintended consequences of the use of ICTs, social media platforms, or synchronous videoconferencing tools.

This year we are proud to celebrate the 25th year of the Social Theory in Information Systems Research minitrack. Since 1996, scholars and researchers have presented cutting edge research, using social theory in their work.
