Logic(s) continues to expand team and partners

 

New York, 7/25/2023 – Logic(s) Magazine, the first black, queer and Asian publication dedicated to exploring the intersection of technology and social impact, is excited to announce its newly appointed Managing Editor, along with several other roles including a new Creative Director, Critical Infrastructure Editor, and Lead Fiction Editor, among others. 

In addition, Issue 20 of Logic(s) will be centered around global tech policy in partnership with Safiya Noble and the team at the UCLA Center on Race & Digital Justice. The next issue is expected to be released in September 2023. 

The first issue of the relaunched Logic(s), supa dupa skies: move slow and heal things, published in June, lays the groundwork for our approach moving forward: a magazine featuring visual essays, poetry, reporting from incarcerated people, fashion, fiction and more. 

As the new Managing Editor, Dr. Sucheta Ghoshal will work with Editor in Chief Khadijah Abdurahman to further the magazine’s goal of highlighting undercovered tech stories. She will also collaborate with Michael Falco, Incite Executive Director, to expand the magazine’s operations and public impact. Sucheta is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington where she runs a research lab called Inquilab that focuses on cultivating community-centered critiques of culture, economy, and politics of technology while simultaneously designing and developing technologies of resistance and accountability with communities otherwise affected by the hegemonic practices of tech. As a researcher and a community organizer, Sucheta has been embedded in grassroots social movements in the US South and the Pacific Northwest for the past decade, and in the Global South for longer. 

Claire Zuo, the production editor for Logic(s), now takes on the additional role of Creative Director. The role includes both commissioning visual pieces and thinking more broadly about the magazine as a visual artifact, and will continue to collaborate alongside Logic(s) designer Justin Carder. 

Joining our team of a half dozen fact checkers, copyeditors, designers, and administrators includes: 

Ra’il Inasah Kiam joins as the newly appointed Critical Infrastructure Editor. 

Erin X. Wong (they/she) is the Fiction Editor for our upcoming issue, after contributing as a fact-checker and copyeditor for supa dupa skies. 

Ed Ongweso, who wrote the fiction piece The Circle in supa dupa skies, will serve as Finance Editor.

Bones Jones of House ° Bones will continue as Designer in Residence for issues 20 and 21.  

By amplifying the voices of trailblazers, innovators, and change-makers, this growing team will cultivate a vibrant platform that inspires readers to harness the power of technology in creating a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow.
