Call for papers - 'Dialectic' journal

Authors and designers are invited to submit works for possible publication in the sixth issue of Dialectic, a biannual journal devoted to the critical and creative examination of issues that affect design education, research, and inquiry. 

Dialectic’s sixth issue will publish pieces that articulate research, scholarly inquiry, surveys, case studies, reviews, opinion/position papers, visual narratives/visual storytelling and criticism that addresses diverse topics located across the increasingly broad and variably

contoured landscape that affects and is affected by visual and interactive communications.

Authors and designers of visual narratives planning to contribute to our sixth issue are reminded that each submission to Dialectic must meet the categorical parameters articulated for one of the following submission types:

• original visual essays/visually based narratives/visual storytelling
• research papers
• long-form case study reports/case series reports
• position papers
• criticism of designed artifacts, systems, and processes
• reviews of books, exhibitions, and conferences
• survey papers
• theoretical speculations

Each piece that Dialectic will publish must be based on fundamentally sound scholarship and inquiry, written or designed so that is broadly accessible, and focused on topics relevant to Dialectic’s audiences.

The sixth issue will be published between July 15 and September 15, 2019. The deadline for full versions of papers and visual narratives written and/or designed that meet Dialectic Issue 06’s categorical descriptions (see below) is: January 4, 2019.

See the Dialectic website for more information on publishing with the journal.
