[ATTW-L] Call for Proposals for CDQ Book Reviews

[Sparby, Erika]

Hello friends and colleagues!



I am the book review editor for Communication Design Quarterly<http://sigdoc.acm.org/blog/category/cdq-article/> (CDQ), and I’m looking for people interested in doing book reviews for upcoming issues. If you or your students are interested, please email me at emsparb at ilstu.edu<http://emsparb@ilstu.edu>.



We are actively seeking to elevate the voices of multiply marginalized and underrepresented (MMU) scholars by both reviewing their books and publishing reviews by them. We are also actively seeking to elevate design of communication and technical communication works that deal with intersectional issues related to power, race, gender, language and linguistic justice, sexuality, environmental justice, social justice, disability and access, and so on, so we will prioritize reviews on books that centralize these or related issues. As such, I will continue Avery Edenfield’s inclusive process for selecting books and reviewers by requesting very brief proposals for book reviews.



When soliciting the book for your review, please include the following information:

  *   What book you want to review
  *   Why you want to review it (100 words or less)
  *   When you can submit your review to be published. I’ll be looking for 2-4 reviews per issue, and the deadlines for each will be set early in the month noted below:
     *   October 2022 (for publication in December)
     *   January 2023 (for publication in March)
     *   May 2023 (for publication in July)
     *   July 2023 (for publication in September)


Here are some of the books I currently have available for review (many are available as PDFs or epubs, but I would be able to arrange for hard copies of most as well). You are also welcome to propose a book not on this list that fits within CDQ’s scope, or to propose to review a cluster of related books. We are also interested in doing interesting intersectional reviews as well as nontraditional reviews. If you have any questions or creative ideas, please reach out!
