IT Research in Marginalized Contexts: An Evolving Landscape
Pages 6 - 13
Abstract
Information systems (IS) scholars are gradually conducting research on socio-technical issues in marginalized contexts to uncover inequities and injustices and empower them through technology. In support of the evolving IS research landscape, a dedicated track on IT, social justice, and marginalized contexts was organized at HICSS 2024 that would allow the IS community to attract, promote, and grow research on marginalized contexts systematically and deliberately. This editorial presents a brief overview of the ten mini-tracks accepted as a part of this special HICSS 2024 track and highlights the prominent themes showcased in the 39 accepted papers. The editorial calls for IS scholars to challenge the hegemonic conduct of IS research and advance scholarship in this space by prioritizing intellectual conversations that mitigate the risks of constructing a future where technological spaces, digital applications, and machine intelligence mirror a narrow and privileged vision of society with its biases and stereotypes. The editorial concludes with a call to collectively seed a scholarly legacy in IT research within marginalized contexts at HICSS.
