A Cross-Cultural Perspective on the Concept of Information

Members: Jenna Burrell

Description

Does the concept of 'information' translate between languages and cultures? If not, what are the implications for Western development interventions that focus on information delivery? This project seeks to explore the concept of information in different formats (ranging from market prices to football/soccer scores) and to consider what conditions enable rural Ugandans to make use of the information they receive.
