Easiest because it’s the most intellectually & personally honest I’ve been in my scholarship.
Hardest because some colleagues suggested I shouldn’t write it— that it was “too divisive.”
I decided it was time to talk about Arab Jewish rhetorics anyway.

Like, I can tell you that across Canadian universities the productivity expectations for writing studies instructors have increased—e.g., in the form of student numbers—and they are not reasonable.

Technical communication, as a field of practice and study, has grown larger and more varied in response to the rapidly developing technologies, new forms of globalization, and shifting institutional demands of the past 20 years—all greatly intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic within the last five. How do instructors of technical communication, in 2025–2026, meet the current moment as well as contemporary student needs? This roundtable calls for creative and innovative approaches to the teaching of technical communication. Following the conference theme of “regeneration,” the session invites presentations that share pedagogical frameworks and/or strategies that critically innovate, expand, or reframe what students may think of as the “traditional” technical communication classroom and its stereotypes of “dull, document-based” work (Bridgeford, Kitalong & Selfe 2). Approaches related to social justice, community engagement, and/or feminist pedagogy, as well as experiential teaching practices such as project-based learning and arts-based pedagogy, are particularly welcome.

A colorful postcard advertising a new article. The title and author of the article are listed along with a quote: Negotiating for Space: Pushing Boundaries and Settling in New Spaces by Mariam Mohammed. “I realized that navigating new academic and cultural landscapes as an international student often means confronting vulnerabilities that challenge both personal and academic boundaries. For me, pushing boundaries goes beyond leaving my comfort zone: it connects to how much I am willing to learn, unlearn, and relearn about myself.” There is a photo of Mariam in graduation attire, smiling at the camera surrounded by academic achievements.
📣We hope you are all having a wonderful start to the fall semester! If you are looking for an inspiring read to kick of the academic year, check out our latest article by Mariam Mohammed!
