[ATTW-L] New CDQ Article on Deep Mapping and Environmental Advocacy

[Luke Thominet]

Dear Colleagues,

CDQ has a new Online First article by Shannon Butts and Madison Jones: "Deep Mapping for Environmental Communication Design<http://sigdoc.acm.org/cdq/deep-mapping-for-environmental-communication-design/>" (sigdoc.acm.org/cdq/deep-mapping-for-environmental-communication-design).

This article shares lessons from designing EcoTour<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ecotourapp.com_&d=DwMF-g&c=lhMMI368wojMYNABHh1gQQ&r=VsUPWHryQCCD8MGNpyS4bQ&m=kR40hqwOJUZSQkNTzQW2Zu-KfKs9Qc2CrsRNuUiBQic&s=_xUPJ_26F5BGg9b2Nffv7pUD7NwQbJ2-ohpkV6WAB9Q&e=> (ecotourapp.com), a multimedia environmental advocacy project in a state park, and it describes theoretical, practical, and pedagogical connections between locative media and community-engaged design. While maps can help share information about places, people, and change, they also limit how we visualize complex stories. Using deep mapping, and blending augmented reality with digital maps, EcoTour helps people understand big problems like climate change within the context of their local community. This article demonstrates the rhetorical potential of community-engaged design strategies to affect users, prompt action, and create more democratic discourse in environmental communication.

We invite you to contribute to the conversation. Communication Design Quarterly strives to be a place open to all types of research and writing as it relates to communication design, and we welcome non-traditional work and work by emerging scholars. We also know that many of our number work outside of academia, and welcome experience reports that summarize important technologies, techniques, methods, pedagogies, or product processes. We are also interested in proposals for guest editing special issues.

And if you have something that would be a good fit for Communication Design Quarterly, please review our article guidelines<http://sigdoc.acm.org/publication/communication-design-quarterly-review/> (sigdoc.acm.org/publication/communication-design-quarterly-review/) and direct inquiries or submissions to our Editor in Chief, Dr. Derek G. Ross, at derek.ross at auburn.edu<mailto:derek.ross at auburn.edu>.
