One of our goals in launching the International Journal of Communication, in addition to demonstrating the viability of non-commercial open access scholarly publication at the highest level, was to take full advantage of the capabilities of online publishing to serve as a forum for a variety of contributions and conversations. Thus, our Features category has included lectures, policy papers and debates, interviews, and other writings that are not traditional scholarly articles or book reviews. In this spirit, we are delighted to introduce a new dimension to our platform, one that will further extend the possibilities afforded by our non-commercial online format under a new category called “Forum.” In the new section that we are calling Participations: Dialogues on the Participatory Promise of Contemporary Culture and Politics, Editorial Board members Nick Couldry and Henry Jenkins engage scholars in informal discussions of contemporary culture and politics. The conversations presented are the result of a series of open-ended conversations that they initiated with colleagues and that seemed to them―and to us―to be worth pursuing in this more public and open-ended venue. Five key topics will be discussed: creativity, labor, politics, knowledge and education, and platforms. In the spirit of opening and continuing the conversation, we welcome comments and contributions from our readers. There is an “add comment” function available when you access each dialogue (including this introduction) to enter your feedback. We look forward to your responses.
