  • Conference Creatures: An Experiment in Feminist New Materialist Praxis

    Hannah Locher and Olivia Rowland

    

    This webtext invites audiences to engage with Conference Creatures, an experiment in feminist new materialist praxis in which the authors create and distribute crochet creatures at academic conferences. Through photos, videos, and interactive elements, we demonstrate how Conference Creatures enacts non-extractive forms of networking that move our professional spaces toward relational praxes of belonging in academia, particularly for graduate students and junior scholars.

  • AI Admin: Provocations through Generated Play

    Anastasia Salter

    

    This piece juxtaposes two games created with generative AI: a commentary on the challenges of being an administrator handling competing demands regarding the use of generative AI, and a similar game structure centered on the digital humanities. Together, these two works offer a commentary on the conversations around generative AI in the humanities and a demonstration of the increasing value of these tools as part of multimodal composition.

  • Quantum Ontologies: Beyond Efficiency in Digital Learning Spaces

    Manuel Piña

    

    Using the results of a qualitative research study, this webtext theorizes ways to resolve the quantum indeterminacy of online learning spaces in ways that serve social justice efforts. The webtext's design encourages readers to engage with content in varied, unpredictable ways, mirroring the ways that digital learning spaces are experienced in single-multiple ways.

• About Kairos

  Kairos is a refereed open-access online journal exploring the intersections of rhetoric, technology, and pedagogy. The journal reaches a wide audience -- currently 45,000 readers per month, hailing from Ascension Island to Zimbabwe (and from every top-level domain country code in between); our international readership typically runs about 4,000 readers per month. Kairos publishes bi-annually, in August and January, with occasional special issues in May. Our current acceptance rate for published articles is approximately 10%.

  Since its first issue in January of 1996, the mission of Kairos has been to publish scholarship that examines digital and multimodal composing practices, promoting work that enacts its scholarly argument through rhetorical and innovative uses of new media. Kairos is one of the leading peer-reviewed journals in English Studies, made so by its dedication to academic quality through the journal’s extensive peer-review and editorial production processes.

  We publish "webtexts," which are texts authored specifically for publication on the World Wide Web. Webtexts are scholarly examinations of topics related to technology in English Studies fields (e.g., rhetoric, composition, technical and professional communication, education, creative writing, language and literature) and related fields such as media studies, informatics, arts technology, and others. Besides scholarly webtexts, Kairos publishes teaching-with-technology narratives, reviews of print and digital media, extended interviews with leading scholars, interactive exchanges, "letters" to the editors, and news and announcements of interest.

  Because questions of copyright, intellectual property, and fair use often arise for scholars who wish to create digital publications, we have developed a statement of copyright that encourages authors to carefully consider their rights and responsibilities while advocating for a strengthening of fair use. Our copyright statement also provides authors with the opportunity to build upon and republish their work because we are committed to the continuing development of intellectual work and believe that authors should retain the rights to scholarly production.

  We invite you to share your views about Kairos, and we hope you'll consider submitting your work for our editorial review.
