This call for papers is for publication of a special issue of 
Connectist. It is combined with a call for submissions to a virtual 
conference on the same theme, which may precede publication.
Participants in the virtual conference on Digital Futures: A Human 
Centred Digitization and Communication will benefit from feedback and an 
opportunity to refine or develop work, prior to submission to the 
associated journal. Successful submission to the journal does not depend 
upon participation in the conference, and nor does participation in the 
conference guarantee publication, but we aim that these two activities 
will support each other, and our participants, as they develop work for 
publication in the Connectist special issue Digital Futures: A Human 
Centred Digitization and Communication


In this issue we would like to explore how the changing role of 
technology in our communication experience, and understanding of, 
societies, economies, human relations, businesses, and environment.  We 
would like to question how individuals and societies can shape the 
future using technology, and how digital futures will change human 
experience. We are interested in exploring the optimism that has 
attached to 4IR; how technology and digital transformation can be 
deployed to improve the quality of communication and life in all areas. 
We believe the more we understand about the impact of this change on our 
lives, we can be the part of this change and we have the ability to 
manage this change. We welcome all articles exploring the human-digital 
technologies relationship in communication and we have two specific 
questions to answer:

How digital technologies will positively contribute future of human 
communication?

How can we deal with the negative outcomes of digital technologies on 
human communication?

In these subject areas:

Media and creative industries

Smart environment and smart cities

Future of work

Equitable digital future

Future of education

Understanding of new society

Consumer engagement and consumer behaviour.

Methodology:

We only accept papers that arise from primary research, and we welcome 
submission that embrace both traditional and emerging methods 
(gamification, eye tracking studies, mobile ethnography, biometric 
response etc.)
