titled Toward Digital Life: Embracing, Complicating, and
Reconceptualizing Digital Literacy in Communication Design. This special
issue seeks to open a space for conversation about literacy/literacies
in technical and professional communication (TPC), user experience (UX),
and communication design (CD) pedagogies, praxes, and methodologies;
the issue aims to bring together new and diverse scholarship around
considering a shift toward digital life as an organizing framework for
thinking about how to foster the entangled ways of knowing (i.e.,
literacies, skills, and/or competencies) necessary for engagement as a
technical communicator and human in 21st century society.<br><br>We invite <b>500-word proposals</b>
that tackle embracing, complicating, extending, pushing back on and
reconceptualizing digital literacy and digital life while connecting to
broader TPC/UX/CD and interdisciplinary scholarship with the aim of
theorizing the turn that we see on the horizon. We are especially
interested in articles that address intersections of digital life and
social in/justice. <br><br>Proposals should be sent by <b>May 15, 2023</b>
as an email attachment in .docx format to co-editors Mollie Stambler,
Saveena (Chakrika) Veeramoothoo, and Katlynne Davis at
<a href="mailto:CDQDigitalLife@gmail.com">CDQDigitalLife@gmail.com</a>. All proposals should include submitter
name(s), affiliation(s), and email address(es) as well as a working
title for the proposed article. See the attached CFP for full production
schedule and details. <br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>We welcome your inquiries!<br></div><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:12pt 0in 10pt">Thank you,</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Mollie Stambler, Saveena (Chakrika) Veeramoothoo, and Katlynne Davis</span></p></div></div></div>
