A Coffee Shop Conversation: Socially Responsible Information Systems Research
Abstract
In which the author is party to a conversation about the nature of socially responsible information systems (IS) research. The dialogue takes the reader through the issues of what is meant by social responsibility, why this is an important issue in relation to IS research, and what social responsible research would entail. On the way issues about the nature of information systems, research and technology are explored in order to provide a framework within which to view IS research. In particular we discover that by viewing information systems as a holistic sociotechnical network it makes it easier to see how the goals of socially responsible IS research may be attained.
