iSchool faculty engaged in sociotechnical information systems research investigate a wide range of topics concerning the interaction between social systems and digital technological systems. Some faculty study how organizations design, develop and use information technology to advance strategy and serve society. Others focus on how individual users use information technologies and assets to meet individual needs and carry out social movements to change society. In all cases, we apply a critical lens to also investigate how the technologies we develop and use affect our social norms, structures and culture.
