Mobile phones in Papua New Guinea

As I have only recently joined this group, I thought I would introduce myself.

I spent the last 3 years lecturing at a University in Papua New Guinea, in communication studies and journalism. I am now commencing my PhD at Queensland University of Technology.

My research will explore the social impact of mobile phones in Papua New Guinea.
