Possibilities

'Possibilities' brings Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies together with Communication and Media Studies, centering how cultural communities use, resist, and remake the forms that represent them.　The series takes up the activist impulse that sparked the founding of Ethnic Studies through the labor of Indigenous, Black, Latina/o/x/e, and Asian American communities, and carries that charge into Communication and Media Studies, energizing the series to be critical, reflexive, and dynamic.
Foregrounding U.S. racial and ethnic formations and performances in relation to imperialism, settler colonialism, and the enduring and recurring traumas of genocide, slavery, anti-Blackness, and internment, 'Possibilities' also follows diasporic, transnational, and border-crossing realities manifested through texts, institutions, and lived experiences. We invite work that takes empirical risks while remaining humble about what it can claim, and that engages communities in imagining what comes next.
'Possibilities' deepens long-standing questions of race and ethnicity across sex, gender, ability, class, nationality, locality, and the like, all with the desire for intellectual growth.　We encourage scholars to cultivate new methods and representational forms, and to let transdisciplinary questions motivate that work rather than merely frame it. 'Possibilities' takes its name from its advocacy: a tending toward resourceful visioning, sustainable offerings, and critical hope.
The series was published under the name 'Critical Intercultural Communication Studies' until volume 33.
