kiwanja also regularly gives talks at international workshops,
conferences and events on a wide range of mobile-related topics
including grassroots mobile innovation, the use of mobile phones in
international conservation and development efforts, FrontlineSMS, and
the role of anthropology in the social mobile space

sources of mobile-related articles, projects and reports on the web,
dedicated to documenting the social and environmental impact of mobile
phones in developing countries.
