Network Neutrality and Digital Dialogic Communication
In the months after the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 2017 decision to repeal network neutrality as US policy, it is easy to forget the decades of public, organizational, media and governmental struggle to control digital policy and open access to the internet. Using dialogic communication tactics, the public, governmental actors and organizations impacted the ruling through YouTube comments, the FCC online system and social network communities. Network neutrality, which requires that all digital sites can be accessed with equal speed and ability, is an important example of how dialogic communication facilitates public engagement in policy debates. However, the practice and ability of the public, organizations and media to engage in dialogic communication are also greatly impacted by the FCC’s decision. This book reflects on decades of global engagement in the network neutrality debate and the evolution of dialogic communication techniques used to shape one of the most relevant and critical digital policies in history.

The Harms of Epistemicide
The Harms of Epistemicide discusses epistemicide and epistemic injustice and how they intersect with books, literacy, and publishing. We define epistemicide as the killing, silencing, annihilation, or devaluing of a knowledge system (Patin et al., 2020). We believe epistemicide happens when several epistemic injustices occur that collectively reflect a structured and systemic oppression of particular ways of knowing. Epistemic injustice is the "wrong done to someone specifically in their capacity as a knower" (Fricker, 2007, p. 1). This book will describe different types of epistemic injustices in books, publishing practices, and in literacy studies and the harms these injustices further cau...
Remembering and Forgetting in the Digital Age
This book examines the fundamental question of how legislators and other rule-makers should handle remembering and forgetting information (especially personally identifiable information) in the digital age. It encompasses such topics as privacy, data protection, individual and collective memory, and the right to be forgotten when considering data storage, processing and deletion. The authors argue in support of maintaining the new digital default, that (personally identifiable) information should be remembered rather than forgotten. The book offers guidelines for legislators as well as private and public organizations on how to make decisions on remembering and forgetting personally identifi...

The Palgrave Handbook on Critical Theories of Education
This handbook brings together a range of global perspectives in the field of critical studies in education to illuminate multiple ways of knowing, learning, and teaching for social wellbeing, justice, and sustainability. The handbook covers areas such as critical thought systems of education, critical race (and racialization) theories of education, critical international/global citizenship education, and critical studies in education and literacy studies. In each section, the chapter authors illuminate the current state of the field and probe more inclusive ways to achieve multicentric knowledge and learning possibilities.
Virtual Identities and Digital Culture
Virtual Identities and Digital Culture investigates how our online identities and cultures are embedded within the digital practices of our lives, exploring how we form community, how we play, and how we re-imagine traditional media in a digital world. The collection explores a wide range of digital topics – from dating apps, microcelebrity, and hackers to auditory experiences, Netflix algorithms, and live theatre online – and builds on existing work in digital culture and identity by bringing new voices, contemporary examples, and highlighting platforms that are emerging in the field. The book speaks to the modern reality of how our digital lives have been forever altered by our transnational experiences – one of those key experiences is the pandemic, but so too is systemic inequality, questions of digital privacy, and the role of joy in our online lives. A vital contribution at a time of significant social and cultural flux, this book will be highly relevant to those studying digital culture within media, communication, cultural studies, digital humanities, and sociology departments.

Investigating the Way We See the Upskirt
This dissertation examines the concept of gendered surveillance and the ways that gendered language is used to produce and maintain it, through the practice of nonconsensual image capture (NCIC). To do this I employed several qualitative methodologies focusing on the terms upskirt and revenge porn, including qualitative semi-structured interviews, discourse analysis, and feminist discourse analysis. I examined both legal writing and practice through the interview process, and conducted discourse analyses to examine the term upskirt in everyday use forms on the social media platform of Instagram, and the discourse of comments on two celebrity gossip blogs. The Instagram data was collected thr...
