    Topics of Interest

    We welcome all topics and methods related to decoloniality in the context of information systems research. The main topic of research should be decoloniality and a paper should have a strong IS component. Contributions should be made to both IS research and decolonial research. Some examples of topics that would be appropriate include, but are not limited to, the following:

    -  Decolonial research that values and extends local and Indigenous philosophies

    -  Decolonial work that brings a marginalized view to the centre

    -  Decolonial approaches to design and human-computer interaction

    -  Decolonial perspectives on sustainability, the natural environment, and technology

    -  The politics of the digital divide

    -  Decolonial perspectives on race and oppression (e.g., Black narratives, algorithmic profiling and surveillance)

    -  Decolonial perspectives on the human body, bodily practices (including disability), and gender

    -  The production and transmission of technology mediated colonial differences (e.g., socio-digital inequalities)

    -  New forms of coloniality using data colonialism, and colonial differences in physical, digital, or virtual spaces

    -  Colonial power differentials in the research setting

    -  Data justice and injustice

    -  Digital activism and social movements that push back against or reinforce colonial ideologies (e.g., the Natural Hair Movement, nationalist movements)

    -  Critical reflective accounts from settler and colonizer perspectives in digital society or organizations

    -  The presence of colonial gaze and how it influences and is influenced by technology

    -  Epistemic violence and resistance, such as the ways of restoring local knowledge

    -  The connections between critical theory and conceptual paradigms that are based on the critique of colonialism
