Class Notes:
Social Justice in Technical Communication: Description: This seminar takes its cue from Jones, Moore, and Walton's antenarrative of technical communication (2016). We will explore many threads of research that many are referring to collectively as "the social justice turn" in technical communication. These threads include feminism and gender studies, race and ethnicity, international/intercultural communication, community/public engagement, user advocacy, disability and accessibility, and diversity, equity, inclusion. We will consider the implications of the social justice turn-- its theories, values, contexts, and practices-- for us as technical communicators, researchers, teachers, and citizens.
