Digital Culture & Education (DCE) is now accepting submissions for a special May 2010 issue, Beyond ‘new’ literacies. Guest-edited by Dana J. Wilber, the issue will focus on the diverse roles digital literacy practices play both online and offline, asking:
- How might the idea of new literacies be expanded through examinations of specific literacy practices with particular tools or technologies like social networking, digital games, and multimodal design?
- How can new perspectives, practices, and theories — such as feminism, Queer, and gaming — provide additional insights around the congruencies and tensions between literacies and digital technologies across contexts?
DCE is looking for submissions from scholars, researchers, and practitioners working in areas such as literacy and education, gaming, new media, sociocultural studies of technologies, literary theory and technology, fan studies, adolescents and digital media, and media and identity. Submissions from research groups working in projects like video games research, digital storytelling, and mobile learning are encouraged.
The deadline for manuscript submission is March 1, 2010. For more information about the journal or the submission process, visit the DCE website.
