Graeme Johanson began professional life as a librarian, moving into academia after a decade of
work experience. ICTs were in their infancy. His first academic qualifications were in history and law.
His PhD research dealt with the hegemonic cultural and economic exchange of books around the British Empire, and their contributions to particular forms of development. In different universities he has
taught and researched about disciplinary territories, information management, knowledge management,
community informatics, community networks, learning commons, knowledge preservation, development informatics, e-research, migrant diasporas, and related themes. He has worked in faculties of Arts,
Humanities, Communications Studies, Business, Education, and Information Technology. Multidisciplinarity has become a way of life!
