Prior work suggests that emancipation is a complex and multi-faceted concept. Many conceptualizations of emancipation exist, and emancipation is defined in different ways. Existing empirical studies mainly focus on one or few components of emancipation. To have an integrated understanding of emancipation, we review the literature on emancipation in information systems (IS), with a view toward developing a typology of components of emancipation in the IS field. The typology of emancipation components consists of four components: freedom to act, freedom to express, freedom to belong and freedom to think. These components relate to the concepts of agency, dialogue, inclusion, and rationality, respectively.10 pagesEnglishAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalSocial Impact and Information SystemsagencydialogueemancipationinclusionrationalityEmancipation Research in Information Systems: Integrating Agency, Dialogue, Inclusion, and Rationality Research10.24251/HICSS.2021.767
