CATaC 2010 will feature keynote addresses by Dr Linc Kesler (First
Nations Studies, The University of British Columbia) and Dr John
Willinsky (Stanford University School of Education).
The biennial CATaC conference series provides a premier international
forum for current research on how diverse cultural attitudes shape the
implementation and use of information and communication technologies
(ICTs). The conference series brings together scholars from around the
globe who provide diverse perspectives, both in terms of the specific
culture(s) they highlight in their presentations and discussions, and in
terms of the discipline(s) through which they approach the conference
theme.
Original full papers (especially those which connect theoretical
frameworks with specific examples of cultural values and practices) and
short papers (e.g. describing current research projects and preliminary
results) are invited. Topics of particular interest include but are not
limited to:
- Mobile technologies in developing countries
- New layers of imaging and texting interactions fostering and/or
threatening cultural diversity
- Theoretical and practical approaches to analyzing "culture"
- Impact of mobile technologies on privacy and surveillance Gender,
sexuality and identity issues in social networks
- Cultural diversity in e-learning and/or m-learning
You may also purchase the conference proceedings from previous

We look forward to receiving your submissions and to welcoming you to
Vancouver in 2010!
