Abstract

The Special Interest Group on Social Inclusion (SIGSI) is committed to promoting diversity, inclusive practices, and engagement. Thus, SIGSI recently created a task force to assist the AIS in developing services and policies that enable all IS scholars to fully participate in the AIS scholarly community. In support of that aim, this symposium will: (1) facilitate discussion of social inclusion and exclusion in the AIS and scholarly engagement in public and political discourse; (2) inform the SIGSI community about the task force’s agenda and progress to date; and (3) solicit feedback on its efforts to identify barriers to inclusion and to develop recommendations for the AIS.
