Special Spring 2011 issue on
New Media, Informal Learning and Social Change
Deadline for Submissions: October 15, 2010
Global Media Journal invites the submission of essays, and scholarly articles that builds on the relationship between new media, informal learning and social change for the Spring 2011 issue. The guest editors, Payal Arora from Erasmus University, and Matthew Kam from Carnegie Mellon University are particularly interested in articles that push the boundaries on how people in diverse transnational and cross-cultural environments learn to use new media technologies for a wide spectrum of social activity. With any novel tool, there are intentions, as well as a range of actions and consequences, often facilitated through the informal processes of learning and teaching within social groups. This edition seeks to provide a wide perspective on such critical interactions. Interdisciplinary work is particularly encouraged as well as work situated within marginalized and disadvantaged contexts where such new media tools are being tried and tested to enhance the human condition.
Articles might address, but not be limited to, such topics as:
The play with new media through action and expression
Social activism through new media technologies
Challenges and opportunities organizations, institutions and other international development actors face in the introduction, dissemination and/or usage of new media tools intended for local empowerment
The interplay of new media with advertising, culture, education, politics, and economics.
Theoretical frameworks and methods for studying how new media, identity, cultural contexts and practices, and social change relate to one another
Graduate student research: In keeping with the mission of the journal to provide opportunities for graduate student publication, this special issue of Global Media Journal will have a graduate research section.
For submission guidelines, please go to http://lass.calumet.purdue.edu/cca/gmj/gmj_submission_guidelines.htm. All papers must be submitted via electronic attachment.
