Call For Papers:

AMCIS Mini-track: Social Theory in Information Systems Research (STIR  
2010)
16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Lima Peru,  
August 12-15, 2010

Conference Website: http://www.amcis2010.org/home/

Description:

This Mini Track solicits research papers, research-in-progress papers,  
and panel proposals on social theory in information systems research.  
This will be the 11th consecutive year for the Mini Track at AMCIS,   
and we hope to continue a tradition of high quality paper submissions,  
thought-provoking presentations and lively discussion for all IS   
researchers using, or considering the use of, social theory in their  
work.

Within this Mini Track, we seek to attract research papers, research- 
in-progress papers, and panels from all IS researchers who are using  
the work of social theorists, organizational theorists, sociotechnical  
theorists, and cultural anthropologists in their research.

Possible Topics:  We want to highlight research that uses social  
theory, sociotechnical theory, and social informatics approaches to  
critically examine the constitution of information and communications  
technologies, and their roles in organizations and society.  For  
example, the work of social theorists (e.g., Callon, Castells,  
Bourdieu, Giddens, Putnam), organizational theorists (e.g., Powell,  
DiMaggio, Scott), sociotechnical theorists (e.g., Bijker , Hughes,  
Kling), cultural anthropologists (e.g., D'Andrade, Holland, Suchman),  
symbolic interactionists (e.g., Strauss , Star), and many others are  
being used to address the most important questions about IS,  
organizations, and society.  We invite IS research that applies,  
builds on, compares, or critiques these social theories.

Submission Process:

Full paper submissions must be made electronically through the AMCIS  
on-line submission system (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:80/ 
amcis2010), by February 26, 2010.  Papers should not exceed 5,000  
words, including all attachments.
