Flickr Photos

I’ve set up a Flickr account to publish a series of photos taken as part of my various writing projects and also the research I have performed at Victoria University. They include images I shot while working in Fiji, South Africa and Italy, and also my general wanderings around my home town Footscray in Melbourne’s west.

Most of these photos have been taken using a Canon Digital SLR camera. I’m certainly not a professional, and am learning as I go along.

A Month of Conferences

The end of 2009 is shaping up as conference time for me. I will be presenting on the use and application of ICT to communicate messages of health and wellbeing for refugee and migrant communities at:

• Empowering communities: learning from community informatics practice (Prato Community CIRN Conference, Italy, 4-6 November 2009)
• Digitally Empowering Communities: Learning from Development Informatics Practice (3rd International IDIA Conference, Berg-en-Dal Camp, Kruger National Park, South Africa, 28 October 2009)
• Making Links 2009: Social Action and Technology (17-18 November)

I will also be presenting on writing for short film production at the 2009 AAWP Annual Conference: Margins and Mainstream, Hamilton, New Zealand, 26-28 November.
