to encourage the CRTC to hold hearings for a new private French television network in Quebec to counteract the growing number of francophone viewers drifting towards American television. His work is often referred to at CRTC hearings regarding the status of children and media. He is known for his long-term quantitative studies and multi-methodological approaches, and has participated in several large-scale international initiatives such as the World Summit on Media and children (Australia, Greece, Sweden). With regards to cultural impact, he was one of the first in coining the concept in French academia of "Culture Mobile" in 2005 (translation: Mobile Turn), in reference to the ways in which new technology redefines temporal and special societal constraints; an emphasis on the new nomadic identity of contemporary social actors. To date, he has published numerous books and articles, and contributed to seminal work for the International Handbook for Children, Media and Culture and the Handbook of Child Well-Being. Books Culture mobile: les nouvelles pratiques de communications (Presses de l'Université de Montréal, 2005) Published in French with co-author Dr. Letizia Caronia, this book based on 6 years of research with young people explores the ways in which the mobile phone has been adopted in society and our everyday life, particularly in respect to youth, and the subsequent redefinition of social links and interpersonal relationships that have occurred in the family and society at large, ultimately creating the emergence of a "culture mobile". Moving Cultures: Mobile Communication in Everyday Life (McGill-Queens, University Press, 2007) Co-written with Dr. Letizia Caronia, it examines how teenagers have creatively adopted mobile phones in their social and cultural lives. This appropriation of cell phones exists as a verbal performance through which young people create culture, and argues that teenagers have domesticated and reinterpreted this technology. The book was also published in Italian in 2010. Regulating Screens: Issues in Broadcasting and Internet Governance for Children (McGill-Queens, University Press 2013) Published in 2013 with co-author Ronald I. Cohen, the book provides an overview of the existing rules and regulations that mediate the use of screens amongst children on an international scale (specifically in Canada, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the European Union) and furthers the examination of how governments and non-governmental organizations have been contributing to make television and the Internet safer for children.
