Description
The IS field has acknowledged it has gaps in gender and racial equity. Fewer women choose to study IS, as students or faculty, but how can we improve that? This panel will present current, ongoing studies and activities to collect data about the experiences of women and underserved populations lacking from IS academia and classrooms, including what types of data are needed, sources of this data, and how to begin collecting it from within universities. Panelists will present ideas from all three AIS regions, with special care to discuss how these concepts differ within and between regions. The goal of this panel is to identify missing but critical data related to diversity in IS and to spotlight important work being done to collect and analyze this data worldwide. Conference attendees will learn how they can participate in these efforts and discuss obstacles or barriers that they may face.
