As I mentioned before, we went to Kangwando to visit Jen’s uncle and aunt. Jen’s uncle is a deacon and together they run a mission there, not yet qualifying as a full-fledged church. They teach classes there and help people and generally live a very good and simple life. They were as decent as any people I had met before and truly generous. The link to their website is: http://flyservers.com/members5/hosanmission.info/index.htm. If you can spare the time, take a look. Regardless, Hosan is a small, small town composed mainly of fishermen and their families.
My name is Michael Sean Gallagher. I am a Lecturer in Digital Education at the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh. I am Co-Founder and Director of Panoply Digital, a consultancy dedicated to ICT and mobile for development (M4D); we have worked with USAID, GSMA, UN Habitat, Cambridge University and more on education and development projects. I was a researcher on the Near Futures Teaching project, a project that explores how teaching at The University of Edinburgh unfold over the coming decades, as technology, social trends, patterns of mobility, new methods and new media continue to shift what it means to be at university. Previously, I was the Research Associate on the NERC, ESRC, and AHRC Global Challenges Research Fund sponsored GCRF Research for Emergency Aftershock Forecasting (REAR) project. I was an Assistant Professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (한국외국어대학교) in Seoul, Korea. I have also completed a doctorate at University College London (formerly the independent Institute of Education, University of London) on mobile learning in the humanities in Korea.
