Hi all,
I hope everyone had a relatively relaxing Spring Break (all things considered). I’m emailing to announce the publication of Volume 13, Issue 1 of Communication Design Quarterly (CDQ). The issue is—in my opinion at least—packed with amazing scholars doing excellent work, and a full list of the issue contents are at the end of this email. I want to thank CDQ’s Associate Editor Amber Lancaster and our Book Review Editor Kristin Bennett as well as all the contributing authors for making this issue possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about the issue or are interested in submitting your own work.
Final thing…if you read one of these articles and love it, reach out to the author and let them know. I promise that no one is ever going to be offended by getting that kind of email :).
