How does information technology affect individuals’ health behavior in a pandemic? Insights from mobile health application use during Covid-19
Multicultural exceptionalism
Multiculturalism discourse simultaneously produces, celebrates, and erases differences. This paper explores racial violence within the Sikh diaspora of the transnational Pacific Northwest (PNW) to understand how multicultural discourse has obfuscated the criminalization, incarceration, and surveillance of the Sikh diaspora. I draw from an analysis of Deepa Mehta's film Beeba Boys as well as ethnographic fieldwork to analyze the tropes of the 'Sur…
The Elasticity Of Caste In The Sikh Diaspora
This article examines the transnational dimensions of caste and gender in the Punjabi Sikh diaspora of the Pacific Northwest. I explore how Jats (a landowning caste from Punjab, India) have positioned themselves at times as superior to Chamars (Punjabi Dalits or caste oppressed peoples) in the US-Canada borderland diaspora. Though Sikhism is a religion founded on anti-caste origins, the simultaneous repudiation of caste and celebration of Jat pri…
Information disclosure willingness and mobile cloud computing collaboration apps
Purpose In this research, the authors focus on mobile cloud computing (MCC) collaboration apps that are multiplatform and send the users’ data to the cloud. Despite their benefits, MCC collaboration apps raise privacy concerns, as the users’ information is sent to the cloud where users lack direct control. This study aims to investigate why users disclose information to MCC apps despite privacy concerns and examine the effect of security and assu…
Mobile cloud computing apps and information disclosure
The paradigm of developing mobile apps has shifted from native apps that store data on mobile devices to mobile cloud computing (MCC) apps that send data to the cloud. Transferring users’ data to the cloud provides several benefits, such as larger storage capacity and simultaneous access by multiple devices and users. However, storing data in the cloud also raises privacy concerns as users do not have direct control over their data. This study re…
Slow violence in post-1984 Punjab
In this paper, we examine the afterlives of insurgent and counterinsurgent violence in Punjab and the US. We explore how the period of the 1980s and 1990s came to have effects that linger into the present, and how violence is remembered by ordinary people, especially non-elite women. We argue that memories unfold in relation to the slow and structural violence that has manifested through years of Punjabis living with the after-effects of insurgen…
Diffusion of knowledge in social media networks
Social media platforms serve as important tools for diffusing knowledge within organizations. The factors affecting knowledge diffusion through social media networks (SMNs) need to therefore be better understood. Accordingly, this paper focuses on two SMN‐specific characteristics – reputation mechanisms and the distribution of knowledge roles – which are argued to enhance and enable, respectively, the smooth transfer of knowledge in a SMN. To exa…
Diffusion of Information Technology Innovations
Diffusion may be described as the process through which a new innovation spreads across a population of individuals over time. As individuals typically adopt an innovation at different points in time, the diffusion process may extend for a considerable period of time. Diffusion is shaped by the attributes of: the information technology (IT) innovation; the individuals; the social network in which individuals are embedded; and the environment. Res…
