[Commlist] call for proposals: New Routledge Book Series: Cultural Analytics, AI and the Digital Futures

*New Routledge Book Series: Cultural Analytics, AI and the Digital Futures*

We are inviting potential contributors to consider publishing with  a 
new Book Series currently in development with Routledge: Cultural 
Analytics, AI and the Digital Futures.
The series is envisioned as an essential navigational guide for culture 
in a time of profound transformation. Its core mission is to answer a 
pressing question: How do we harness the power of data and AI to foster 
a cultural ecosystem that is vibrant, equitable, and meaningfully human?

To achieve this, the series is being designed around a foundation of 
critical synthesis, weaving together cultural analytics, critical data 
studies, cultural policy research and creative industry practice. I am 
seeking to identify potential volumes that would combine rigorous, 
practical insight with critical examination—work that not only explains 
the "how-to" but permanently couples it with the essential "why" and 
"for whom."

At this exploratory stage, I am reaching out to assess the landscape of 
potential contributions. We are particularly interested in work that 
features:
  - A practical-critical methodology applicable for professionals and 
scholars.
  - Global comparative perspectives beyond Western-centric narratives.
  - Forward-facing analysis using scenario thinking or policy foresight.

If you are developing work at this vital interdisciplinary 
intersection—whether focusing on data/AI policy, governance, data 
storytelling, AI ethics, curation, or the future of creative labour—I 
would be very keen to hear about your potential book ideas and your 
interest in contributing.

If you have a project to propose, even in a nascent or conceptual stage 
of development, you are warmly invited to share your idea by February 
22, 2026 .
