DATIS workshops
Our Development of Activity Theory in Information Systems (DATIS) workshops aim to build a community of scholars interested in exploring the relationship between technology and activity in different social contexts.
Aims
- To introduce Information Systems (IS) scholars to the basic conceptual premises of Activity Theory focusing on the use, development and contribution of Activity Theory
- To strengthen and build the community of scholars within IS using Activity Theory to explore the relationship between technology and activity in different work and social contexts
- To provide an opportunity for scholars to reflect and gain feedback on work in progress, explore new perspectives and provide support for researchers that are starting to explore Activity Theory
