The “Cultural Attitudes towards Technology and Communication” has issued its first Call for Papers for CATaC’12: Beyond the digital/cultural divide: in/visibility and new media, 18-20 June 2012.

The biennial CATaC conference series, begun in 1998, is an international forum for current research on the complex interactions between culturally-variable norms, practices, and communication preferences, and interaction with the design, implementation and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs).

The 2012 conference, as the title suggests, begins with the recognition that the ongoing issues and challenges clustering around digital divides ­often involving mutually reinforcing cultural divides ­extends beyond classic and stubborn problems of access to new media and communication technologies.
