    Articles

    Articles should focus on access issues such as who has access as well as
    how computers can access us by changing the way we work and think. Other
    related issues include identity, funding, public schools, feminism, issues
    of race/class/gender, etc.

    Reviews

    Reviews and review articles are being sought on texts examining in
    particular the relationships technology and discourse create in the
    educational process. Thus, reviews are to explore works on
    computer-mediated interactions in relation to questions of identity,
    access, gender, and discourse. Book reviews are normally 500+ words while
    critical review articles need to incorporate a critique of at least three
    books in a more detailed analysis. For reviews submissions and questions,
    please contact:
