This special issue of Rhetoric, Professional Communication, and Globalization invites proposals on how these and similar aspects of language and culture intersect with digital environments. Proposals (up to 500 words) for research papers, best practices*, and tutorials are due by November 15th, 2011. Review criteria can be found on the Journal's website at www.rpcg.org.
