Hello all This is an invitation to participate in an ongoing research project on the changes in discourse about ICTD between 2000 and 2010. We may be presenting results for ICTD2012 conference next year in Atlanta.
We are coding a large number of papers (details below) using a short, 10-question guide. We will have a pizza coding party next Friday April 29, 3:30-5:30 pm, come join us for the fun. Let me know if you are interested in more than the pizza party, this should be a fun project to work on if you have the interest and some time. Ricardo Gomez Assistant Professor, iSchool Pizza Party with Qualitative Coding Information and Communication Technologies for Development Discourse Analysis Friday April 29, 3:30-5:30 pm COM 302 Join us for a coding pizza party on April 29, 3:30-5:30 pm at COM 302 computer lab. Help code a handful of research papers on Information and Communication Technologies for Development, as part of an ongoing iSchool study of the discourse of ICTD. In exchange for your time and insight we will offer eternal glory, hands on participation in research, and a pizza party precursor to Friday's happy hour. Questions?

Research questions: * What are the notions of development and of the relationship between ICT and society in the dominant ICTD literature? * How have they changed over the past decade? * What is the nature of the contribution to the field of ICTD research? * What are the preferred epistemology, ontology, & research methods? Three threads to explore: analysis of narratives in the academic literature; milestones in the ICTD timeline (1995-2010); if possible, key documents in industry, donor and international organizations.
