‘I hope this email finds you well’
This study examines how MagicSchool AI (MSAI), an educational technology platform, mediates affective dimensions of teacher-family communications through its Email Family Tool. Drawing on an algorithmic audit informed by politeness theory, the authors analyze how MSAI’s underlying language models structure and standardize emotional expression in teacher-family communications. The authors introduce the concept of synthetic affect to theorize how p…
Black and Latina Girls' Compositions of Multimodal Community Journaling as Multimodal Artifactual Literacies About STEAM
This study explores Multimodal Community Journals (MCJs) as a collaborative visual storytelling, research, and community tool that empowers Black and Latina girls while fostering their engagement with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). Analyzing the multimodal texts created by the Dig‐A‐Girls and their community—integrating writing, drawing, and photography—this research examines how they express their identities, ex…
Birds Aren’t Real
As recent history has shown, an information ecology polluted with fake news, mis/disinformation, and conspiracy theories can breed division, anxiety, and hatred—forces that pose profound challenges to nurturing a civically engaged, democratic citizenry. But is that always the case? The satirical conspiracy movement Birds Aren’t Real offers a curious example of how a faux conspiracy theory—that birds were replaced by avian drones to spy on America…
Postdigital Videogames Literacies
This article is a collective response to the 2003 iteration of James Paul Gee’s What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy . Gee’s book, a foundational text for those working in game studies, literacy studies, and education, identified 36 principles of ‘good learning’ which he argued were built into the design of good games, and which have since been used to unsettle the landscape of formal education. This article brings togeth…
Homo medialiteratus and the media literacy proxy war
Alongside climate change, democracy, and public health, digital disinformation and misinformation, or digital dismisinfo, stands among the most pressing of global challenges. But how are societies responding to that challenge? Who are the key actors, what solutions do they propose or enact, and how does their work interact with that of others? To address these questions, the authors undertook a visual network analysis of the U.S.-based response t…
Informal Social-Emotional Learning in Gaming Affinity Spaces
Background Over the past few years, there has been extensive discussion and research on social-emotional learning (SEL) in formal educational settings. However, there is limited research on SEL in informal learning contexts, including online sites such as gaming affinity spaces. Aim This qualitative study aimed to investigate the social-emotional competencies demonstrated by players in a Reddit discussion board focused on Elden Ring, a video game…
Literacy in the Age of AI
A Google Trends search for “artificial intelligence” and “literacy” tells us something important about our field's entrance into the age of AI: a long stretch of no measurable interest interrupted by a dramatic spike in late 2022, when OpenAI published ChatGPT. Since then, debates across diverse communities and domains—dinner table conversations, government reports, op-eds, podcasts, and journal special issues like this one—have worried over AI's…
Speculative Propositions for Digital Writing Under the New Autonomous Model of Literacy
Governance on , with , behind , and beyond the Discord platform
Emerging scholarship has brought critical attention to the increasing influence of digital platform architectures on learning across disciplines and contexts. Allied with such scholarship, this study examines how the logics of social media platforms create the conditions for new formations of literacy to emerge at the intersection of digital capitalism and literacy expression. Examining data collected at the Giga-Games Camp (pseudonym), a series …
You Will Perish
This study focused on the digital design practices of Raul, a 15-year-old participant at a summer video game design camp for adolescents. As Raul developed his original game, You Will Perish, I wondered what his design process might reveal about (a) the practice of affectively and procedurally literate video game design and (b) the literacy pedagogies that can support such design. Guided by the concept of serendipity, I describe Raul's design pra…
I think I Get Why y’all do this Now”
The purpose of this study was to understand how players reckon with relentlessly challenging video games by exploring their interactions in a game-specific affinity space. The authors conducted a qualitative thematic analysis of a focal discussion thread on r/EldenRing, a Reddit community, to examine how players lend each other support in response to the game's mechanical, affective, and interpretive difficulty. The findings demonstrate how affin…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on UK medical education. A nationwide student survey
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the delivery of medical education across the UK, with the majority of face-to-face teaching cancelled during the first wave, and medical schools consequently making varied adaptations to education delivery. To identify and share effective adaptations, we conducted a cross-sectional, online survey (COVID Med-Ed) between 20th May and 31st August 2020 which divided undergraduate teaching by GMC “Outc…
The ClassDojo app
This article emerged in response to the increasing ubiquity of the ClassDojo app, a Silicon Valley-developed digital communication and behavior management platform, in grade schools throughout the world. The author engages critically with ClassDojo by situating it within current scholarship around network governance, describing how the app may reflect a broader transition from Foucauldian disciplinary societies to Deleuzian societies of control. …
Spinoza and the Affective Turn
In their introduction to a recent special issue of Qualitative Inquiry, Taguchi and St. Pierre observed that Foucault's notion of "fruitful disorientation" seemed to circulate throughout the included articles. Embracing this fruitfully disorienting impulse, the authors of this article provide a detailed reading of Baruch Spinoza's ontological concept of affect as he articulated it in the Ethics. Through this return, the authors consider the impli…

Sexual sensation seeking, reduced concern about HIV and sexual risk behaviour among gay men in primary relationships
Gay and bisexual men who indicated they were currently in a primary relationship with another man (N = 230) completed measures of HIV treatment attitudes, sexual risk behaviour and sexual sensation seeking. Results indicate non-primary partner sexual activity is common in many gay relationships and men in non-exclusive relationships possessed greater levels of sexual sensation seeking and treatment-related reduced concern about the dangerousness …
New Roman and prehistoric aerial discoveries at Grandford, Cambridgeshire
The Romano-British settlement at Grandford lies northwest of the town of March, in the heart of the Fens of eastern England. It straddles the ‘Fen Causeway’, a Roman road that ran west—east across the Fens, and which probably originated at the legionary vexillation fortress at Longthorpe, near Peterborough, held between c. AD 48 and 61/62. Small-scale excavations between 1958 and 1968 demonstrated occupation for much of the Roman period, down to …
Measurement of the validity of a preschool vision screening program
OBJECTIVES: The validity (sensitivity and specificity) of a preschool vision screening program was measured over a 3-year period to determine how well strabismus and significant refractive errors could be detected. METHODS: Public health nurses were trained to administer tests of visual acuity, stereoacuity, and ocular alignment. Failure on any test, visual acuity of 6/9 or less, stereoacuity of less than 100 seconds of arc, or an apparent misali…
