Hi Radhika, Regarding use of mobile phones in rural areas: Jonathan Donner, The Earth Institute at Columbia University, has done some interesting studies in Sub-Saharan Africa - he has e.g. presented his work at the Seeing, Understanding, Learning in the Mobile Age- conference in Budapest last April. More info here: http://www.hunfi.hu/mobil/ On the website there's a reference to previous publications and Jonathan published an article in the volume calles Mobile Democracy. Essays on Society, Self and Politics. :-) Gitte Stald -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: air-l-aoir.org-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-aoir.org-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] På vegne af Radhika Gajjala Sendt: 26. september 2005 13:03 Til: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Emne: [Air-l] CFH Cell/Mobile phone use in rural areas? ______________________________ Hi, I've been searching for available published work on cell/mobile use (or lack - or implications of use or lack of use etc) in rural areas in order to use in the context of my recent ethnographies from parts of rural and urban Andhra Pradesh (India). I found some that refer to Grameen Bank experiments, to rural Uganda usage etc. But not much on rural US or rural areas of any other "developed" nations of the world. I did find material on urban use of cellphones Š Maybe I am looking in the wrong places. Can anyone suggest where I should look. -- Radhika Gajjala Associate Professor School of Communication Studies Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, OH 43403 http://personal.bgsu.edu/~radhik http://www.cyberdiva.typepad.com http://www.cyberdiva.org _______________________________________________ The Air-l-aoir.org@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
