Here’s a journal I wish that I’d been in a position to submit an article to, but my diary is rather stuffed (at least til the end of June!), but I look forward to seeing what is produced…
Deadline: November 30, 2010 Guest Editor: Mary McAleer Balkun
The editors seek articles (5,000-10,000 words) and media essays (overviews on books, film, video, performance, art, music, websites, etc. 3,000 to 5,000 words) and items for an occasional feature, “The Material Culture of Teaching,” that explore the uses of digital media in all pedagogical contexts and disciplinary perspectives.
