[CITASA] Technology in "unusual" places
Hello everyone,
My name is Jen McCalister, I'm a PhD student at Northumbria University and I'm studying the use of technology in "unusual" places. I was wondering if you smart folks could recommend researchers or scholarly work that focus on technology in the Favellas / slums of Brazil?
Thanks heaps.

graduate student conducting a year and a half of ethnographic fieldwork in
