This new journal is concerned with the changing demands of education and the especially central role of digital culture in preparing students for labor in the context of the ‘knowledge economy’. As Virno suggests, it is not simply new digital technologies, but also the mutable, transient, mobile lifestyles and cultures that they afford, which provide the skills, knowledges, and literacies necessary for a smooth segue into the contemporary workplace. DCE is a new international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal focusing on research in areas of digital culture which are relevant for education. However, we emphasise that this relevance may, and should be construed widely. The work we publish is both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, bridging the social sciences and humanities.
