1st AISWN International Research Workshop on Women IS and Grand Challenges |
The AIS Women’s Network (AISWN) College is proud to sponsor the 1st International Research Workshop on Women IS, and Grand Challenges. Although everyone suffers from the effects of unsustainable development, women and children are often most adversely affected. By bringing different perspectives to the discussion of grand challenges, women have the power to make a difference, but their voices are often missing in boardrooms, policy-making, and research. The aim of this workshop is to encourage research done about, for or by women that explores the relationships between information systems and a variety of grand challenges. The workshop will feature research papers and panels focusing on societal ‘grand challenges’ of particular interest to members of the AISWN College, including, but not limited to:
- How IS supports humanitarian and sustainable migration
- Healthcare IT, from a local level of supporting practitioners to global issues of pandemic control and management
- Promoting work-life balance, every day and during times of enforced teleworking and home schooling
- Using IS to understand and prevent hate speech and discrimination
- The role of IS in restricting and improving diversity and inclusion
- Using technologies and systems to assist the elderly and promote healthy, dignified aging
- Green IS, and the use of IS to combat climate change and other environmental threats
The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting in conjunction with ICIS 2020. There will be a single track to maximize interaction and participation. Participates will have the opportunity to network with collegues (details will be announced as the conference program is finalized).
