Hi all, I'm editing (with my colleague Didem Ozkul) a special issue of *Mobile Media & Communication* entitled "Mobile Media beyond Mobile Phones." The point of the special issue is to move mobile communication research beyond a dominant focus on smartphone technology. The journal is interdisciplinary, well-respected, widely read (h5 index of 23/30), and open to a range of methodological and theoretical perspectives. The full CFP can be found here: http://journals.sagepub.com/pb-assets/cmscontent/MMC/Frith_MMC_CFP.pdf . The CFP goes into more detal on why such the topic is important, the deadlines (extended abstract by March 15), and all of that. Here I just want to list a few possible topics. We're open to more and we hope to hear from some of you! Possible topics, including but not limited to · The Internet of Things broadly defined · Historical forms of mobile communication, including but not limited to o Books as mobile media o Ancient forms of mobile media o Mobile auditory media o Barcodes o Earlier mobile gaming technologies (Gameboy, etc.) · Mobile phone infrastructure (GPS, cell tower, etc.) · Wearable technologies such as the Apple Watch, Fitbit, etc. · Broader mobile communication infrastructure, including but not limited to o RFID o Near-Field Communication o BLE Beacons o QR Codes · Robotics as mobile communication · “Generations” of mobile networks—shift to 5G · Mobile phone standards as vibrant actors · The role of mobile communication in artificial intelligence -- Jordan Frith, Ph.D. Associate Professor Director of Graduate Studies Director of the Digital Media Studies Certificate University of North Texas Department of Technical Communication
