In this book, top scholars in the field of mobile communication discuss 
the major issues related to the use of mobile phones in today’s society, 
such as the tension between private and public, youth mobile culture, 
creative appropriations of mobile devices, and mobile methods. Each 
chapter unfolds as an open dialogue between scholars and graduate 
students of communication. They contain an introduction by a student, 
followed by a short lecture and a question and answer section with the 
students, and a closing statement by a student that responds to the 
scholar’s argument. The book is a valuable resource not only for 
individuals interested in mobile communication, but also students and 
teachers willing to use the affordances of mobile media to expand the 
physical boundaries of classrooms and promote collaborative learning 
practices.


"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
