Mobile communication and supporting family Narratives

Shawn Ashkanasy, Information Systems

As part of a Nokia sponsored project, myself and a number of colleges at Information Systems, University of Melbourne, are investigating mobile technologies that might support personal and social narratives. I would be interested in discussing our current project and opening up a discussion on the theoretical and social implications for this type of research. For example, what role might narrative play in developing closer bonds between members of close social or family groups separated by distance?
