What can be done to improve access to computing for underrepresented groups? In what ways do new technologies impact digital divides? What are the social, cultural, political, and economic implications of the Internet of things? These are examples of the kinds of questions we are interested in exploring in this minitrack. We are particularly interested in completed or emerging research using social theory to address the conference theme, Digital Disruption, critically examining the ways in which emerging technologies are changing the sociotechnical landscape in ways that narrow or widen the digital divide. This will be the 18th consecutive year for STIR, and we hope to continue a tradition of high quality papers, and thought-provoking and lively discussion for IS researchers using social theory in their work. In addition to research aligned with the conference theme we are also interested in high quality empirical and conceptual work that uses social theory to investigate issues such as (but not limited to): ? Improving access to computing for underrepresented minorities ? Reengineering the pipeline in STEM education for greater inclusiveness and diversity ? Critically assessing the ways in which ICTs and information systems can be used to privilege some and exclude others ? Understanding the impacts of the Internet of Things on the digital divide ? Assessing the unintended consequences of technology implementation and use in organizations and in social life ? Reflection on the ways in which ICT assemblages support and challenge political, cultural, and economic hegemonies.

It advances the argument that industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution that follows on from technological revolutions brought about by water and steam power (industrial revolution 1.0), electric power (industrial revolution 2.0), and computing/computerised automation (industrial revolution 3.0). In 1845/46, Marx and Engels wrote The German Ideology. 170 years later, we live in the time of digital capitalism that has its own peculiar forms of ideology. This paper argues that ?industry 4.0? is the new German ideology, the digital German ideology. --- Cet email a fait l'objet d'une analyse antivirus par AVG. http://www.avg.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
