I am a lecturer in media studies at the University of Winchester and have been interested in CI for a number of years. I published an article in the Journal of CI in 2005, which was a paper I gave at the CIRN conference in Cape Town that year which won the best paper award.

I have recently published a number of books and chapters on the topic of CI:

Leaning, M. (2009) The Internet, Power and Society: Rethinking the Power of the Internet to Change Lives, Chandos: Oxford.

Leaning, M. (ed.) (2009) Issues in Information and Media Literacy: Vol. 1. – Criticism, History and Policies, Informing Science Press: Santa Rosa.

Leaning, M. (ed.) (2009) Issues in Information and Media Literacy: Vol. 2. – Education, Practices and Pedagogy, Informing Science Press: Santa Rosa.

Leaning, M. (2010) ‘One Laptop per child and the problems of technology led educational development’ in I. Berson Hightech tots: Childhood in a Digital World, Information Age Publishing, San Jose. CA.

I'm currently working on a new book:

Leaning, M. (2011 – under contract) No Child Unplugged: the use of new media in education for international development, Informing Science Press: Santa Rosa.

I'm very intertested in community informatics and wish to join!
