Interfacings is a new online publication devoted to contemporary interdisciplinary approaches to media practices created by the graduate students of the Institute of Communications Research at the University of Illinois.

Interfacings is an open, peer reviewed periodical that seeks a variety of approaches to the study of media objects and practices, with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity and innovative approaches. Interfacings provides a forum for scholars to shape the future of media and cultural studies.

Interfacings calls for original manuscripts that examine the frontiers of the field of media studies. The title reflects the common boundaries that exist in interdisciplinary scholarship. The qualitative, critical perspective that defines this journal will open new areas for analysis and create new frameworks for inquiry in contemporary media studies.

Interfacings covers diverse topics that address the relationships between texts, subjects and contexts, including but not limited to:

• New technologies and society
• Cultural studies and political economy
• Globalization and media
• Race, gender and representation
• Performativity, identity and interpretive research
• Journalism and democracy
• Telecommunications and policy studies
• Aesthetics, popular culture and pedagogy
• Cultural and media studies of science and medicine
