Aims & Scope<BR>
Digital Culture & Education (DCE) is an international<BR>
inter-disciplinary peer-reviewed<BR>
journal. This interactive, open-access web-published journal is for<BR>
those interested<BR>
in digital culture and education. The journal is devoted to analysing<BR>
the impact of<BR>
digital culture on identity, education, art, society, culture and<BR>
narrative within social,<BR>
political, economic, cultural and historical contexts.<BR>
<BR>
Submission Guidelines<BR>
The scale and speed at which digital culture has entered all aspects<BR>
of our lives is<BR>
unprecedented. We publish articles and digital works that address the<BR>
use of digital<BR>
(and other) technologies and how they are taken up across diverse<BR>
institutional and<BR>
non-institutional contexts. Scholarly reviews of books, conferences,<BR>
exhibits, games,<BR>
software and hardware are also encouraged. The work we publish is both<BR>
disciplinary and interdisciplinary, bridging the social sciences and<BR>
humanities. We<BR>
are interested in work and scholarship theorising globalisation, development,<BR>
sustainability, wellbeing, subjectivities, networks, new media,<BR>
gaming, multimodality,<BR>
literacies and related issues. We encourage submissions in a variety<BR>
of modes and<BR>
invite guest editors to propose special editions.<BR>
<BR>
E-Access<BR>
