Notwithstanding the current situation, periods of crisis and upheaval 
exacerbate inequities in our communication infrastructure and throw into 
sharp relief the profound barriers to access. In such fraught moments, 
we can glimpse the extent to which our systems of mediation 
differentially serve and confound us according to our positionality 
within these systems. To understand the effects of crises on 
communication, it is important to consider the history of systems of 
mediation that have both limited and encouraged access, participation, 
and equity across knowledge, space, and culture. What have crises, both 
present, perpetual, and past, intimated about flaws, gaps, and 
inequities in systems of communication that are overlooked or 
disregarded under “normal” (if “normal” exists) conditions? How might we 
think about how infrastructure relates to the crises and thus the 
infrastructures of communication are the infrastructures of 
communication in/justice? How and why are people and communities 
affected differently in these crises, and how do systems of 
communication and mediation both mitigate and compound these phenomena?

This issue takes on these and other approaches to explore crises and 
communication in what we hope will inspire and engage new approaches and 
investigations.
