Award Winner: Armond Towns’ On Black Media Philosophy
From the committee:
“Armond Towns’ On Black Media Philosophy is an exciting and impressive read, challenging ARSTM scholars to rethink some of our most foundational theories of media and technology and what role Black studies might play in how the study of rhetoric, science, technology, and medicine is defined, approached, and bounded. This book should most certainly be required reading for both new and senior scholars in our field.”
Honorable Mention: Jenell Johnson’s Every Living Thing
From the committee:
“Jenell Johnson’s Every Living Thing is a provocative read that poses a robust question regarding the meaning of life and answers that question through several compelling case studies. Addressing some of our most pressing problems today, Johnson pushes ARSTM scholars to new methodological and theoretical territory all while engaging an impressive quality of prose that readers of Johnson’s overall writing know well.”
