Demarginalizing interdisciplinarity in IS research: interdisciplinary research in marginalization
2019
This article reports on the 2nd Workshop of a World University Network (WUN) Research Development Funded project on “The trans-nationalisation of Indigenous movements: The role of digital technologies” at the University of Southampton, UK. The workshop explored interdisciplinarity and how interdisciplinary collaboration can help us to study complex social phenomenon, such as the ways in which marginalized Indigenous communities use and shape digital technologies (such as social media) to enhance their cause. The workshop brought together scholars from diverse disciplines to engage in a critical debate. In addition to scholars from information systems, scholars from history, political science, geography, literature, arts, and anthropology came together to discuss the use of digital media by marginalized Indigenous communities. The workshop highlighted the need for more interdisciplinary research in the field and called for more critical approaches to bring such marginalized topics to the forefront of research in information systems. Three broad areas of inquiry are considered in this article: demarginalizing methodology for interdisciplinary research, interdisciplinary perspectives for demarginalization, and interdisciplinary contexts for demarginalization.
