The project, “Re: Power Development – Digital Time of the AID industry”, was created within the framework of the Master’s Programme, Communication for Development, of Malmö University. Our field of Study is Communication and Media Studies in a wider sense, incorporating cultural aspects as well as a focus on Development Studies. We will operate this blog from September until November of 2022.
Power dynamics, ICTs and the Aid industry
Our intention for this blog is to communicate about social change and explore ways in which communication can and does affect grown social structures. We focus on power dynamics and development in this digital age. How these translate to newer and emerging technologies and especially how power dynamics and ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) influence continuous evolution within the aid industry.
We hope, you accompany us and enjoy this journey at least as much as we do.
