Greetings, and please accept my apologies for cross-posting with a few other lists.
I’m James Hodges, and I am in the process of assuming the position of Senior Book Reviews Editor for Information & Culture journal (https://infoculturejournal.org/).
I will be taking the helm from our current editor later this spring, and I’m writing today to solicit pitches for our upcoming issues.
I’m especially interested in bringing a more global and multicultural range of subject matter to our review pages. This means that while our general focus on the social and cultural influence of information remains unchanged, I am eager to seek out books and reviewers with origins and expertise in areas beyond the Anglosphere and Global North.
Do you have a book coming out that fits with the editorial mission of Information & Culture? Is there a new or upcoming book that you would like to review?
Please get in touch via reviews@ischool.utexas.edu if you are interested in reviewing these or other titles.
More information: Information & Culture is an academic journal printed three times a year by the University of Texas Press. It publishes original, high-quality, peer reviewed articles examining the social and cultural influences and impact of information and its associated technologies, broadly construed, on all areas of human endeavor. In keeping with the spirit of information studies, we seek papers emphasizing a human-centered focus that address the role of and reciprocal relationship of information and culture, regardless of time and place.
The journal welcomes submissions from an array of relevant theoretical and methodological approaches, including but not limited to historical, sociological, psychological, political and educational research that address the interaction of information and culture.
I look forward to collaborating with members of this community!
