Scholar Citation Profile My ResearchGate
Profile Dr G. 'Hari' Harindranath is a
Reader in Information Systems in the School of Management. Hari has a
background in political economy and holds a doctorate in Information Systems
from the London School of Economics. His research centres around the social
and organisational implications of information and communications technology
(ICT), including the use of ICT for development and in developing/transition
countries, and the use of social media in social movements. I am
very keen to hear from PhD candidates with an interdisciplinary background
interested in topics at the interface between ICTs and migration to work
alongside our five-year research project on South-South migration - see below
and HERE. Hari is Co-Investigator on the
5-year (2019-2024, £20 million), ESRC funded, UKRI
GCRF South-South Migration, Inequality and Development Hub led by
Coventry University. He is the Royal Holloway lead for the work package
(£670,000), ‘Technology, Inequality and Migration’. Working with Co-I, Prof
Tim Unwin (Geography and the UNESCO
Chair in ICT4D Chairholder), this work package seeks to understand the extent
and ways through which the application of ICTs has alleviated or exacerbated
existing inequalities in the context of South-South migration, as well as
successes and challenges facing the use of ICT for migrant-related
development outcomes. It also considers how the potential benefits of ICT can
be leveraged to ensure that the developmental benefits of migration are
harnessed and increased, particularly through reducing inequalities in ICT
access and use. See
full details HERE. See the UKRI GCRF statement
HERE. Hari is an Editorial Board Member of the Journal of Information
Technology, and the EPSRC-funded ORBIT
Journal for Responsible Research & Innovation; Associate Editor of the Journal
of Global Information Management, Senior Editor of The Electronic
Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries, and a co-founder of the Association for Information
Systems-affiliate conference, International
Conference on Information Resources Management (Conf-IRM). He has
previously served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Global Information
Technology Management, and EB Member of the International Journal of Knowledge
Management. Hari has published in leading journals such as the British
Journal of Management, European Journal of Information Systems, Human
Relations, Decision Support Systems, Technological Forecasting and Social
Change, International Journal of Information Management, The Information
Society among others; edited special issues for journals such as Journal of
Information Technology (see Recent Activities below), Journal of Global
Information Management, and Journal of Global Information Technology
Management; and presented at numerous international conferences. Hari teaches on the MBA and MSc programmes in the School
of Management, where he also serves as the Director of Internationalisation.
In 2008-9 he was chosen as the 'Outstanding MBA Teacher' by his students.
Again in 2011-12, Hari was awarded the School of Management's Duncan Harris
Memorial Prize for Excellence in Teaching. He also has extensive experience of
teaching on executive and distance learning programmes as well as teaching
internationally. Upcoming/Recent Activities 2019-2024, Co-Investigator,
