<div style="margin-bottom:8.0pt">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We take this opportunity to thank all the authors for their interest and enthusiasm for the JIT Special Issue on “Futuring: ‘Digital’ Futures as a Novel Site of Inquiry and Imagination”. We hope the feedback provided
to those who submitted an extended abstract was helpful. If you did not submit an extended abstract, this brief workshop is intended to help you emphasize the alignment of your work with the ethos and goals of the Special Issue. We are also aware that the
quite unorthodox topic of the special issue both opens possibilities and raises questions regarding what the SEs hope to see and what we expect.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div style="margin-bottom:8.0pt">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We intended to offer these workshops earlier, but life sometimes happens. We are happy to now offer a brief workshop to provide a refinement of the CfP information (not a major change at all) and to address questions.
Considering the international distribution of authors, we are offering two times to attend a ~ 60 minute workshop (via Zoom - these will cover the same ideas - plan to attend just one). This workshop is entirely voluntary and is intended to help in these
last stages of polishing your submission. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
