Dialogues on Mobile Communication

This collection provides a very welcome and timely perspective on the thriving and fast developing field of mobile communication. Based on lectures by key figures in the field and ensuing discussions with researchers and students, the book preserves in an original manner, their dialogic format of production, and highlights different active directions of current research rarely brought together as a coherent whole. This far ranging and highly accessible book will provide a powerful resource for anyone interested in mobile studies - Christian Licoppe, Professor, Sociology of Information and Communication Technologies, Telecom Paristech

This volume treks across many research traditions and continents to deliver state-of-the-art insights on mobile communication studies. It also bridges the gap between research and pedagogy by putting leading figures in direct conversation with graduate students pushing on the frontiers of this expanding field. - Scott W. Campbell, Constance F. & Arnold C. Pohs Professor of Telecommunication, Department of Communication Studies, University of Michigan
