SIGPrag 2008 Call For Papers

Pragmatist IS Research (SIGPrag) is a new special interest group developed by the Association for Information Systems (http://home.aisnet.org/) that responds to research interests in understanding how IT becomes an aspect of human activity and its consequences in supporting collaboration and communication.

SIGPrag invites researchers to contribute position papers advancing SIGPrag's central theme: theorizing the IT artifact and its organizational and societal context from a pragmatic and action-oriented perspective.

The position papers will be presented at the inaugural SIGPrag meeting at ICIS2008 in Paris, France (http://www.icis2008.org/). Those interested should submit a 500 word abstract of their position by October 10, 2008 to Pär Ågerfalk ().

        o  October 10, 2008: Abstract submission
        o  October 24, 2008: Notification of acceptance
        o  November 30, 2008: Final position paper due
