Communication, Literacy, Design

Remote communication requires a means of identifying whom to contact. How do people who can't read and write manage their contact information?

This is just one of the many questions I'll be asking at a presentation on Literacy, Communication, Design to the University of Art and Design Helsinki on the evening of the 14th September. It's hosted by Teemu Leinonen and Andrea Botero Cabrera and is open to the public. It will draw on three years of research by colleagues at the Nokia Mobile HCI Group into low literacy communication practices, a journey that took us from urban and rural India to Nepal, China, Uganda and beyond.

Related research can be found here and as usual when its all done and dusted links to the slides will be posted to here.
