[Sigiii-l] Conducting research with marginalized communities

[Potnis, Devendra Dilip]

Dear All,

Several of us conduct research or serve marginalized communities and vulnerable populations including but not limited to people who do not have access to formal financial services or health services in remote rural areas in developing countries, immigrants, minorities, disabled people, refugees, farmers, children, and women struggling in male-dominated cultures.

Recently, Denice Adkins (University of Missouri), Nicole Cooke (University of Illinois), Rakesh Babu (University of Wisconsin), and I presented a panel on "Addressing Barriers to Engaging with Marginalized Communities: Advancing Research on Information, Communication, and Technologies for Development" at the 80th Annual Meeting of ASIS&T in Washington DC. Several of you could not attend the annual meeting. Hence, I am sharing our panel presentation with you all.

I hope several of you would find this information useful for your ongoing and future endeavors with marginalized communities, creating more value for them. You can find more details about this panel in the ASIS&T proceedings.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments regarding the attached presentation, or wish to know more about my research with communities in Bangladesh, India, Ethiopia, Kenya, Vietnam, and Tunisia. :)

Best,
Devendra
