NANO is an indexed, Open Access, and Open Source humanities journal. 
NANO never charges to submit or to read content. NANO is published by 
City Tech, part of the City University of New York.
NANO announces its new issue, an exploration of the ways that interviews 
connect people.
The interview is woven into our hyper-connected world through podcasts, 
Zooms, magazines, newspapers, social media, and they still occur in 
private settings. Interviews are ubiquitous. They can be formal and 
informal, closed or open-ended; they can yield quantitative and 
qualitative results; they can invoke power and symbolic capital. But, 
the interview can also be less about gate-keeping and more about the 
tension inherent in knowledge production and sharing. The eight 
interviews in this special issue of NANO create spaces of exchange, 
where the goal is not interrogation but collaboration, curiosity, and 
mutual understanding.
Two interviews focus on teaching. A multimedia project by Shauna Chung, 
Naila Butt, Sandy Fougeres, and Khemraj Persaud describe ways that 
interviews fuse writing and workplace readiness while the scholar Laura 
Westengard reveals the communal spaces where gothic and queer reinforce 
each other.
Two interviews focus on visual art. Jennifer Lockard Connerley discusses 
ways that academia and spirituality enhance portraiture while Bill 
Saylor reveals how his environmental and natural abstractions arise.
Two interviews focus on translation. Dana Crăciun acknowledges the 
difficulty of translation while Johannes Göransson eyes translation’s 
inherent creativity.
Two interviews focus on creativity and theory. The writer and editor 
Emily Hockaday discusses the challenges of running a science fiction 
magazine in the age of AI while Marcus Boon reflects on his 
interdisciplinary practices.
