i've now been back from Ukraine for more than 8 months, and have just started my second semester in the master of international development policy program at duke. since i was so good at keeping up my blog in ukraine :), i'm now reconstituting it to hopefully help with my research and interest areas at school.
one of my primary areas of focus is looking at the different ways that technology is impacting lives in the developing world. examples can be seen in anti-corruption campaigns, new methods for efficient project monitoring and evaluation, new micro-business opportunities for those caught in the "youth bulge", bringing new educational possibilities to youth, etc.
as i will be writing a master's thesis next year on this topic, i plan to start using this blog as a collection point for the various stories that i seem to run across every day. hopefully, this will help develop my ideas (and anyone else who happens across this) as to the various roles that technology can play in the future...
