On behalf of Zachary McDowell, Briankle Chang, and myself, I am pleased to announce the publication of Issue 2 of communication +1's 10th Anniversary.

We thank the authors for their excellent contributions to the two issues in this volume, which marks a decade of communication +1, and we are excited to share these pieces. Please find below a description of the new issue (as well as the previous issue companion).

communication +1's 10-year anniversary: A Decade of Futures (of Communication)
Edited by Zachary McDowell and Peter Royal

What we proposed for this collection was to return again to explore the boundaries and the future of communication as an area of study and as an interdisciplinary and intersectional space of inquiry. communication +1's first issue, Futures of Communication<https://scholarworks.umass.edu/cpo/vol1/iss1/> (2012), did just that by addressing a wide variety of topics. The objective to address the "futures" of communication as a field of inquiry was and is not to identify research topics that may be popular or fashionable; rather, it is in the (re)establishment of "communication" as an enduring theoretical concept that cuts across the humanities and social sciences. The future of "communication" therefore designates its significance guaranteed by its interdisciplinary promise (but also arrives with its own concerns). What we offer here is a continuation of the belief that the question of “futures” is not a one-time endeavor, but instead a question that needs to be returned to time and time again, particularly in this age of changing media landscapes and new interdisciplinary discourse.

About the Journal

The aim of communication +1 is to promote new approaches to and open new horizons in the study of communication from an interdisciplinary perspective. We are particularly committed to promoting research that seeks to constitute new areas of inquiry and to explore new frontiers of theoretical activities linking the study of communication to both established and emerging research programs in the humanities, social sciences, and arts. Other than the commitment to rigorous scholarship, communication +1 sets no specific agenda. Its primary objective is to create a space for thoughtful experiments and for communicating these experiments.

communication +1 is an open access journal supported by University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries and the Department of Communication
