/communication +1/'s 10-year anniversary: A Decade of Futures (of 
Communication)
Edited by Zachary McDowell and Peter Royal

What we proposed for this collection was to return again to explore the 
boundaries and the future of communication as an area of study and as an 
interdisciplinary and intersectional space of inquiry. /communication 
+1/'s first issue, Futures of Communication (2012), did just that by 
addressing a wide variety of topics. The objective to address the 
"futures" of communication as a field of inquiry was and is not to 
identify research topics that may be popular or fashionable; rather, it 
is in the (re)establishment of "communication" as an enduring 
theoretical concept that cuts across the humanities and social sciences. 
The future of "communication" therefore designates its significance 
guaranteed by its interdisciplinary promise (but also arrives with its 
own concerns). What we offer here is a continuation of the belief that 
the question of “futures” is not a one-time endeavor, but instead a 
question that needs to be returned to time and time again, particularly 
in this age of changing media landscapes and new interdisciplinary 
discourse.

About the Journal

The aim of /communication +1/ is to promote new approaches to and open 
new horizons in the study of communication from an interdisciplinary 
perspective. We are particularly committed to promoting research that 
seeks to constitute new areas of inquiry and to explore new frontiers of 
theoretical activities linking the study of communication to both 
established and emerging research programs in the humanities, social 
sciences, and arts. Other than the commitment to rigorous scholarship, 
/communication +1/ sets no specific agenda. Its primary objective is to 
create a space for thoughtful experiments and for communicating these 
experiments.

communication +1 is an open access journal supported by University of 
Massachusetts Amherst Libraries and the Department of Communication
