[edit] Overview
Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy is an online, refereed, open-access journal focusing on rhetoric, technology, and pedagogy and their intersections in theory and practice. Kairos is known for promoting the use of new media through digital publication, and contributions are often published in the form of “webtexts,” meaning that they are authored specifically for online publication. The journal also publishes interviews, reviews of both print and digital media, letters to editors, and news and announcements of interest to the field of digital rhetoric. Regular issues of the journal appear twice a year (once in August and once in January) and special issues typically appear once a year in May.
[edit] Journal History
Kairos began publication in 1996 under the title Kairos: A journal for Teachers of Writing in Webbed Environments and was a groundbreaking venue for the publication and development of scholarship that interrogates the role of new media of electronic networks as a key element of digital scholarship. Kairos continues to publish regularly.
