Call for papers for a special issue of the Journal of International and Intercultural Communication on The Continuing Relevance of the Global South (and Where to Find it). Deadline: abstract only, 1 July 2024.
Special issue editors:
Rochelle R Davidson Mhonde (George Mason University)
Zhuo Ban (University of Cincinnati)
Last Moyo (Xian-Jiaotong Liverpool University)
In this special issue, authors are invited to submit proposals that address the theoretical expansion and translatability of critical theoretical frameworks and models across the communication discipline, emphasizing international contexts and intercultural conceptualizations. Editors encourage proposals that shed light on the continuing relevance of the Global South concept influenced by a diverse array of critical perspectives and geopolitically located vantage points (e.g., being “from” the Global South while living in the North). They welcome critical approaches including (but are not limited to) critical race theory, intersectionality, culture-centered approach, decolonial, subaltern studies, queer theory, and indigeneity, among others. Topics could include, for instance, communication issues and problematics emerging from the context of (a) immigrant labor in the new global economic structure, (b) new models of geo-political alliance and colonization, (c) global solidarity of struggles across race, gender, class among other social identities, (d) global discursive field in the age of social media, AI, and digital surveillance, and (e) the challenges in addressing global health disparities and inequities through intercultural health communication and promotion.
