Experiment in publication
With our online book we are testing out an emergent form of public peer review. We have adapted an open review template first designed by Ada: A Journal of Gender, New Media & Technology, which not only permits but encourages readers to chime in. This, then, is our invitation: we invite you to join our conversation, commenting on the chapters in places where you find yourself inspired to do so. Instructions and guidelines are here. (Please be generous and also keep in mind that these pieces were written as short essays and that the final paperback book will also feature short essays rather than full-length academic articles.)
