>This Live Seminar will examine questions and 
>challenges pertaining to the development, use 
>and effects of Information and Communication 
>Technology (ICT) in humanitarian 
>activities.  Increasingly used by humanitarian 
>professionals in situations of emergency, armed 
>conflicts, and disasters, ICT has emerged as a 
>component of effective and sustainable delivery 
>of humanitarian relief.  Yet ICT remains 
>relatively under-theorized and utilized 
>differently across contexts.  Against the 
>backdrop of the increased use of ICT in 
>humanitarian activities, this Live Seminar will 
>address the following questions:
>    * How have technological innovations shaped 
> the roles and responsibilities of humanitarian professionals?
>    * In what ways has ICT affected the 
> selection, collection, and dissemination of conflict-related information?
>    * What metrics are available to discern the 
> scope and significance of ICT's effects on 
> coordinating humanitarian aid delivery?
>    * How has ICT transformed institutions providing humanitarian relief?
>These questions will be examined through 
>critical inquiry into recent innovations in ICT, 
>their application, and their (potential) 
>consequences for humanitarian professionals.
