The 19th Annual Social Informatics Research Symposium is focused on the use of networked technologies to highlight the state of academia and work in recent years has led to intense polarization and fragmentation across cultural, political, and geographic boundaries. During this past year, the vast utilization of ChatGPT underscores its capacity to impact our society, bringing about a range of benefits and drawbacks. These sociotechnical crises have joined other persistent environmental, geo-political, and global economic concerns. As a result, we cannot ignore the ways in which the deployment of ICT has been handled so far and the gaps between research and action and policy. This year, the ASIS&T Special Interest Group (SIG) Social Informatics (SIG-SI) will present a workshop about turning research into action in alignment with the ASIS&T Annual Meeting theme, “Making a Difference: Translating Information Research into Practice, Policy, and Action.” Papers accepted to this workshop will focus on the interaction of people, technology, and society, in order to turn research into change. Additional registration fee applies.
