The seminar draws on research among urban and rural farmers in Uganda on their access and use of ICTs in their everyday lives. Drawing on theories from gender and technology studies Caroline Wamala, PhD will analyze access and use of ICTs in Uganda and focus in particular on the cultural embeddedness of gender and technology from a development perspective. Here it is important to emphasize that access does not necessarily equal use and vice versa. Data from observations and interviews will be used to illustrate the importance of the social environment in which ICTs operate and how the underdeveloped state of the infrastructure prompted farmers’ to negotiate access and use in very innovative ways.
