The long-awaited new issue of DSQ (42.1, 2022) is now live! https://dsq-sds.org/ We've titled our Introduction to this issue and its contents as *"Re: Re-"* Replying, referring back to conversations, listening and responding. As we curated this 42.1 issue, our attention drew to the dialogic back-and-forth at the center of our academic and activist praxes. And, too, we understand dialogue at the center of each article in this issue. The authors connect with others and from that conversation, they extend, revise, amplify, and challenge. They participate and create. The process of replying involves reaching backward and suggesting forward. Re-lated importantly to our theme this issue, the presentation of our online journal system has undergone a significant re-design. The whole interface of the journal now looks and navigates quite differently with a major upgrade to a very outdated "Open Journal System" (OJS) we have been using with the Ohio State University Libraries (*DSQ*'s publisher since 2006). We're all re-vamped and re-energized in 2022 with a new volume 42! We also want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the peer reviewers of 2021. We absolutely could not facilitate the feedback process without you. We realize that these last two pandemic-challenged years have caused quite a disruption to the practices –the labor, the commitment, the time needed–for peer reviewing across the entire academic landscape. Here at *DSQ* we have remained patient and grateful for the impactful, but so often uncelebrated and unacknowledged, backstage work of peer reviewers. We truly *heart* you, peer reviewers. We've arranged the articles in the issue around topics and conversations to which the authors reply and re-conceptualize: media, education, interdependence, and theory. As you engage this issue, we encourage you to read for the "re:'s" and the "re-'s" yourself. -- *Elizabeth Brewer & Brenda Brueggemann, *Co-Editors *Kelsey Henry, *Assistant Editor Elizabeth Brewer - Central Connecticut State University Brenda Brueggemann - University of Connecticut Kelsey Henry - Yale University *contact: **dsqeditor@gmail.com* <dsqeditor@gmail.com>
