<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">CDQ has a new Online First article by Lynda Olman and Danielle DeVasto: “<a href="http://sigdoc.acm.org/hybrid-collectivity-hacking-environmental-risk-visualization-for-the-anthropocene/">Hybrid Collectivity: Hacking Environmental Risk
Visualization for the Anthropocene</a>” (sigdoc.acm.org/hybrid-collectivity-hacking-environmental-risk-visualization-for-the-anthropocene/).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Article Abstract: This essay proposes a hack of existing models of environmental risk communication so that they will better address Anthropocene risks. The discussion focuses on a key area of risk communication: environmental risk visualization
(ERV). Drawing on social-constructionist theories of risk and the authors’ own research on ERVs, it assembles criteria for designing and evaluating ERVs based on their hybrid collectivity—meaning their ability to collect agents around themselves over time
and across traditional Modern divides between human/nonhuman, expert/nonexpert, and nature/culture. The criteria were tested on two ERVs from the 2011 Fukushima disaster. The article discusses the resulting promises and challenges of an approach to risk communication
motivated by hybrid collectivity.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We invite you to contribute to the conversation. <i>Communication Design Quarterly</i> 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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And if you have something that would be a good fit for Communication Design Quarterly, please review
