A reminder: HICSS-43 January 5-8, 2010 As we undertake research and design information systems, we make implicit and explicit choices that have political and ethical implications. Papers (both empirical and conceptual) are requested for these sessions at HICSS that discuss the range of cultural behavior and decisions exhibited in an increasingly networked world.
