About the journal:



Mobile Media & Communication is a peer-reviewed forum for international, 
interdisciplinary academic research on the dynamic field of mobile media 
and communication. Mobile Media & Communication draws on a wide and 
continually renewed range of disciplines, engaging broadly in the 
concept of mobility itself.



The journal embraces both quantitative and qualitative approaches to the 
study of mobility in communication, but above all aims toward 
state-of-the-art methodology. While the center of gravity lies in social 
sciences and humanities, the journal is open to research with technical, 
economic, and design aspects, provided they help to enlighten the social 
dimensions of mobile communication.



Mobile Media & Communication examines the phenomenon of mobility in 
communication – that is, what is understood as mobile media and 
communication, but also emerging phenomena such as mobile and ubiquitous 
computing. Contributions may include, but are certainly not limited to, 
explorations of the following topics:



•  Mobile communication as an innovation, including the emergence of new 
usage forms, the negotiation of norms, and symbolic representation by 
producers and users

•  The interrelationship of this nearly ubiquitous technology and the 
users’ everyday lives

•  The embeddedness of mobile communication within social networks, and 
the mutual shaping of technology and social structure

•  Local cultures and forms of use of mobile communication

•  Mobile communication in developing countries

•  Cultural differences in mobile communication

•  Mobile communication and gender

•  Specific methodologies that address the mobile character of the 
phenomenon: ethnography, observation, network analysis, experience 
sampling, and other still emerging methods

•  Mobile learning and education.

•  Persuasion through mobile media in various domains

•  History of mobile media

•  Journalism and mobile media

•  Specific methodologies that address the mobile character of the 
phenomenon: ethnography, observation, network analysis, experience 
sampling, and other still emerging methods



Please forward this message to any of your colleagues that may be 
interested.



Best wishes,



Vern Swart
