Welcome to IN9390!

Hello! :-)

A warm welcome to IN9390, "ICT for Development: Building A Better World?" In this course we will explore the field of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D), in a journey guided by the question on what it takes to make a better world with ICTs. In our journey we will explore the limits and possibilities of ICTs for development, touching on themes as diverse as digital platforms, ICT use by refugees and internally displaced persons, global health, data justice and decolonial understandings of ICT4D. 

The course is assessed with a take-home exam to be submitted in December 2022. Essential readings are available in the course schedule, which offers also an overview of the themes of the course.

For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at silvima@ifi.uio.no. 

I look forward to meeting you in the fall!

All the best,

Silvia
