Greetings, and apologies if my cross-posting results in multiple copies of
this call landing in your email.

I’m James Hodges, Senior Book Reviews Editor for Information & Culture (
https://infoculturejournal.org/). We are currently seeking book reviewers
with expertise in the areas of information and media technologies, broadly
construed.

In recent months, we have also committed to diversifying the subject matter
and authorial perspectives in our book reviews section. This means that we
are particularly interested in covering books by authors or concerning
regions and cultures currently underrepresented in Global North academic
literature, as well as in publishing reviewers from such backgrounds.

Additionally, we are currently seeking reviewers for the following specific
titles:

"Surveillance Capitalism in America," edited by Josh Lauer and Kenneth
Lipartito (U Penn Press, https://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/16260.html)

“Chinese Internet Buzzwords: Research on Network Languages in Internet
Group Communication” by Zhou Yan (Routledge,
https://www.routledge.com/Chinese-Internet-Buzzwords-Research-on-Network-Languages-in-Internet-Group/Yan/p/book/9781032040677
)

“The Black Technical Object: On Machine Learning and the Aspiration of
Black Being” by Ramon Amaro (MIT Press,
https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/black-technical-object)

Please get in touch with the reviews desk at reviews at ischool.utexas.edu if
you would like to join our reviewer pool, propose a specific review, or
offer your own recent publication for review (published within the last 18
months).

Sincerely,
James
