[ATTW-L] New CDQ article and Issue 10.1 now online

[sonias]

Dear Colleagues,

CDQ has just published a new Online First article. We are also happy to announce that the latest issue of Communication Design Quarterly (Volume 10, Issue 1) is now live!

The Online First article is by Chris Dayley, “Ethical Deception: Student Perceptions of Diversity in College Recruitment Materials” (https://sigdoc.acm.org/cdq/ethical-deception-student-perceptions-of-diversity-in-college-recruitment-materials/).

Article Abstract: The use of images of students from traditionally underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds in college recruitment materials presents a seemingly difficult dilemma. Should colleges and universities use diversity in recruitment materials to try and attract students from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds even if those images do not accurately represent the amount of diversity at the university? To discover student perceptions relating to this question, I used a mixed-methods approach in which I surveyed 117 students and then interviewed 10 survey participants. Survey and interview questions were based on utilitarian versus deontological ethics with an emphasis on whether exaggerating diversity in recruitment materials is ethical. The results of this exploratory study showed that most students believe using a disproportionate amount of diversity in recruitment materials is unethical. Student participants who identified as a person from an underrepresented racial/ethnic group indicated that it is unethical to exaggerate diversity in recruitment materials at a higher percentage than their white counterparts. This is likely because people from underrepresented backgrounds face a much higher risk of harm from misleading recruitment materials than their white peers.

Second, Issue 10.1 is now available (https://sigdoc.acm.org/blog/2022/04/15/cdq-issue-10-1-is-now-live/). This issue contains three research articles, one experience report, and three book reviews.

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 (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.

Best,
Sonia
