As announced in my last entry, I took part at the ICT4D Postgraduate Symposium in London and presented my own preliminary results.
The two days with many presentations on all kinds of different topics related to ICT4D were extremely motivating not only for the completion of my own thesis, but also for future involvement in the scientific area of ICT4D. Short (and subjective) abstracts of each presentation as well as some pictures of the symposium can be found at www.ictlogy.net, a very good ICT4D Blog with many other interesting sources on the topic.
Thanks a lot to all the organizers from the ICT4D Collective - it was fantastic!
Ok, I know I haven't been too good at updating that blog - please excuse my tardiness... The reason is that nothing much interesting has happened regarding my thesis work since my return from South Africa.
I transcribed all my interviews to be able to better work with them and then started to write on the actual thesis paper. The Introduction and the Theoretical Part are finished already, also almost the whole chapter on the national level, where I describe the political (ICT) framework of South Africa.
Next week, I will present my prelimenary findings at the ICT4D Postgraduate Symposium organized by the ICT4D Collective at Royal Holloway, University of London on September 14 and 15, 2006. The presentation will be online here at the end of next week.
