Laura Forlano’s Summary
I have over ten years of professional experience in writing, research and public policy with a specific focus on media, technology and communications. My Ph.D. dissertation is an ethnographic study of mobile work practices focusing on three interrelated phenomenon – the growth of the freelance and entrepreneurial work and the transformation of organizations; the widespread use of mobile and wireless technologies; and, the changing role of ‘third spaces’ such as cafes, parks, airport lounges and other public spaces. I have conducted comparative international research in Japan, Hungary and Germany.
