Call for Short Essays - Interfaces: Essays and Reviews in Computing and Culture
Dear Colleagues,
Interfaces hope some of you will consider publishing with us, please forward to others who might be interested. Many thanks!
Interfaces; Essays and Review in Computing and Culture publishes
short essay articles and essay reviews connecting the history of
computing/IT studies with contemporary social, cultural, political,
economic, or environmental issues. It seeks to be an interface between
disciplines, and between academics and broader audiences. It is very
much interdisciplinary and past essays published have been from scholars
and doctoral students from sociology, media studies, communication,
information studies, history, history of sci/tech, science and tech
studies,etc. Essays are generally 2,000 to 3,500 words (a few go up to
4,000 which is fine if you wanted a longer essay, but 2,000 to 3,000 or
3,500 the norm).
Some possibilities, but not limited to...
- Think piece on some aspect of the sociology, geography, anthropology, history, or other social or cultural study of the digital world
- addressing a contemporary issue that in part contextualizes looking back at change over time
- An essay that provides a short, popular version that promotes a larger work (draws from and promotes a full-length article or a book, could announce pre-publication or point to post publication of larger work)
- Reflections on a body of literature (including an essay review on two or more books, essay on digital exhibit on computing/digital world)
- Other types of short essays on computing and culture
Essays
go through editorial review (myself and my colleague Amanda Wick,
co-editors), which is usually short and straightforward and leads to
publication in about a month from original submission.
I hope you will consider submitting an essay to us! If I can answer any questions, please let me know.
Best, Jeff
