Despite ample hype about the ubiquity of ICTs, 53% of the world’s 
population has never gone online. Even within the most prosperous 
nations, digital divides remain significant, based on such factors as 
age and income, but also geography, excluding many in rural areas and 
distressed areas of cities. The consequences are increasingly 
significant to perpetuating social and economic inequalities as 
government services, healthcare, education and job opportunities move 
online. Resources have been invested in initiatives to close digital 
divides, but with limited results. This Workshop will explore theories 
and methods guiding the study of divides, and critically assess emerging 
policy and practice. Multiple stakeholders are invited to identify 
promising policy and technical initiatives, and how they can best be 
studied. See more details herehttp://bit.ly/1VOgtES.

Please submit your statement to wenchen2006 at gmail.com 
<mailto:wenchen2006 at gmail.com>by May 1, 2016. We will notify selected 
participants by May 15, 2016.

Cheers,
