Abstract

Contemporary information systems research, often dominated by Western perspectives, mirrors colonial power dynamics. The call for decolonization emphasizes the need for diverse research methodologies. This minitrack presents research on decolonization, emphasizing decolonial viewpoints using local epistemologies, Indigenous theories and methodologies. It provides insights to information systems researchers on how decolonial approaches to technology and society can aid in combating oppression and fostering a more diverse and inclusive society.
