Professional computing organisations, including the ACM, IEEE and INFORMS published statements supporting Black Lives Matter during the 2020 racial unrest in the United States. While the voices of these professional organisations are echoed from positions of power, the concerns of Black IS professors are silenced. In this opinion piece, we centre on the voices of Black professors who seek to thrive in an IS field where they are woefully underrepresented, tokenized, isolated, marginalised and excluded from positions of power. Building on the Black Lives Matter movement's momentum, we offer critical insights about our lived experiences and examine pertinent issues. These issues include systemic racism in the ivory tower and the performative nature of diversity work in the academy. In direct response to the Help the Association of Information Systems (AIS) Build a System that Provides Equality for All, we offer an inclusive framework for promoting transparency, justification, compliance and enforcement of the AIS's action plan for widening participation in IS.

黑人的命也是命:三位黑人信息系统学者的观点

包括 ACM、IEEE 和 INFORMS 在内的专业计算组织在 2020 年美国种族骚乱期间发表了支持 Black Lives Matter 的声明。当这些专业组织的声音从权力的位置上得到回应时,黑人 IS 教授的担忧被压制了。在这篇评论文章中,我们关注黑人教授的声音,他们寻求在 IS 领域茁壮成长,在这个领域,他们的代表性严重不足、被标记化、孤立、边缘化并被排除在权力职位之外。基于 Black Lives Matter 运动的势头,我们提供有关我们生活经历的批判性见解并研究相关问题。这些问题包括象牙塔中的系统性种族主义和学院多样性工作的表演性质。直接回应帮助信息系统协会 (AIS )建立一个为所有人提供平等的系统,我们提供了一个包容性框架,以促进 AIS 扩大信息系统参与的行动计划的透明度、正当性、合规性和执行。
