The purpose of the fifth Developing Activity Theory in Information Studies (DATIS) workshop is to continue to provide a forum for IS scholars using Activity Theory (AT). The aim of the workshop is threefold:
* Strengthen and build the community of scholars within IS using AT.
* Provide an opportunity for scholars to reflect and gain feedback on work in progress or gain fresh perspectives.
* Provide support for researchers that are starting to explore AT.

The previous four iterations of the workshop (2016-19) were well attended and proved to be a useful platform for discussing diverse IS studies utilising Activity Theory. The workshop provides a unique opportunity to bring together early career researchers and more established researchers to discuss issues of interest and share research work. It also brings together scholars that may be working in separate areas of IS (e.g. small firms and IT, IT and development, IT design), but have a shared interest in developing Activity Theory. In particular, this year the workshop will focus on the 4th generation AT and its implications to IS research, featuring a keynote speech on this topic from Dr. Stan Karanasios of UQ Business School, University of Queensland.
