[Air-L] Special Issue CFP: Communities, ICTs, and the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina

[Itza Carbajal]

 Dear AoiR scholars,

As we approach the 20th anniversary of when Hurricane Katrina made landfall
in the United States in cities and towns off the Gulf Coast this upcoming
August 2025, I would like to invite writers, artists, thinkers, organizers,
teachers, and students to submit an abstract for the following special
issue "The Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast Legacy: 20 Years of
Community & Technology Reflections, Lessons, and Future Making"

While commemorations of immense grief, loss, change, and tragedy do not
always elicit positive or pleasant emotions, it is through these periods
that we can learn the most about what works, what doesn't and where do or
did we go from (t)here.

*Theme and Scope:*
This call aims to provide a platform for diverse voices and
interdisciplinary scholarship to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about
one of the most significant events in recent U.S. history. We welcome
submissions that challenge, expand, and deepen our understanding of the
lessons and legacies of this pivotal moment in time. Strong proposals will
touch on a range of topics related to the Gulf Coast region, populations,
and environments affected by Hurricane Katrina or building off lessons
learned during and after the storm, including but not limited to:

   - Data Collection and Management
   - Early Warning and Decision Support Systems
   - Communication and Social MediaResponse and Coordination
   - Survival and Recovery
   - Ethics and Privacy Concerns
   - Climate Change Realities and Predictions
   - Education, Training, and Remembrance
   - Policy and Governance
   - Disaster Impact on Human and Non-human wellbeing

I am beyond excited to work as editor with JCLIS on this very important
special issue and I hope you will join me in submitting, sharing, or
providing reviews for this endeavor.
