Information Systems meets CUltural COmpetencies (IS-CUCO)
Website: https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/iscuco/The NSF Funded Information Systems meets CUltural COmpetencies (IS-CUCO) addresses how underrepresented communities, such as Hispanics in urban areas, make limited use of Information Systems (IS) when making decisions to access resources such as food. IS-CUCO identifies how cultural, linguistic, data, and infrastructure factors impact the use of IS by Hispanic populations and incorporates these factors into the software engineering process. The project members are from Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) located in communities with large Hispanic populations (New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and El Paso). IS-CUCO builds research capacity and trains the next generation of professionals who develop more inclusive IS.
