*Information Technologies and International Development *

*Call for papers for a special issue honoring the life and work of Gary
Marsden*



Submission deadline: *Jan 20, 2015*



Information Technologies and International Development (ITID) is the
leading journal focusing on the intersection of information and
communication technologies (ICT) with international development. Published
by the Annenberg Press, ITID is a multidisciplinary, quarterly open access
publication.



The journal is now inviting submissions for a *Gedenkschrift* memorial
issue honoring the life and work of Gary Marsden. Gary Marsden was a full
Professor of computer science at the University of Cape Town where he
directed the ICT4D research center. He passed away suddenly in December of
2013, shortly after chairing a very successful ICTD conference in Cape
Town. Gary was a passionate scholar of international acclaim and a dear
friend to the ITID community. He is already deeply missed.



We are primarily soliciting research papers on themes relevant to or
influenced by Gary's work including the areas of:

· HCI and international development (HCI4D)

· Mobile interaction design

· Computer science education in Africa

Research contributions should be theoretically grounded and
methodologically sound and are also welcome from (and across) diverse
disciplinary boundaries including social science, design, and computer
science. Contributions are especially welcome from researchers based in
developing regions and those involved in cross‐continental collaborations.



In addition we will consider personal essays honoring Gary's work and
impact, particularly from his former students and collaborators. Authors
interested in submitting an essay are required to first contact the special
issue editors with a short overview.
