[ATTW-L] Reminder of upcoming CFP deadline: Special section of CDQ on the enduring impact of Dr. Halcyon Lawrence's research

[Jordan Frith]

Hi all,

As many of you know, Dr. Halcyon Lawrence passed away on October 29, 2023.
To honor her memory, *Communication Design Quarterly*
<https://cdq.sigdoc.org/> will devote a special section of a future issue
to individual reflections on the impact of her research. Many people
<https://www.weremember.com/halcyon-lawrence/3g0l/memories> have reflected
upon Dr. Lawrence’s amazing mentorship and the indelible mark her kindness
and generosity have left on our community. We hope our planned special
section will build upon those reflections by focusing specifically on the
important interventions she has made through her research. Consequently,
we’re soliciting 1,000-2,000-word pieces that engage with her research in a
variety of ways. The pieces could be more formal reviews of one of her
articles or book chapters or more personal discussions of how her research
has influenced your thinking on a topic. We’re open to creative approaches
that engage with Dr. Lawrence’s research.

The final submissions will go through editorial review (but not peer
review). As mentioned earlier, we’re open to creative approaches, so don’t
feel like you must follow the two examples I outlined in the previous
paragraph.

Because this is kind of an atypical format, we’re using a rather atypical
submission process. The first step is to email me (jfrith at clemson.edu) a
brief description of what you want to write about (50-100 words). I’m
adding that step because I want to avoid a situation where I receive two
very similar submissions and can only publish one of them (I don’t want to
waste anyone’s time). I’ll respond to each submission and let you know
whether it will fit the special section, and we’ll then be open to the
1,000-2,000-word final submissions. Our main requirement is that each
submission *must* engage with the impact of Dr. Lawrence’s research, which
we’re defining broadly to include conference presentations, workshops, book
chapters, articles, etc.

We’re planning on publishing the reflections together as a special section
of our second or third issue of 2024.  To ensure timely publication, we
will be using the following deadlines:


   - *December 15:* Email me (jfrith at clemson.edu) a brief description of
   the reflection piece you want to write. It only needs to be 50-100 words. I
   just want to make sure there’s not too much overlap between submissions.
   - *March 1:* Submit the 1,000-2,000-word final submission. I will then
   begin the editorial review process with *CDQ's *associate editor Dr.
   Amber Lancaster.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Thank you,
