CFP for TCSJ special issue: "Unjust 'Permission Structures' in/as Technical Communication" | Technical Communication and Social Justice We are thrilled to invite proposals for our special issue of Technical Communication and Social Justice (TCSJ) on the topic of Unjust “Permission Structures” in/as Technical Communication. While the process of permission structuring originates from controlling access and user roles within computer networks, this technical term has been appropriated to describe a rhetorical strategy whereby communicators use the audience's existing beliefs and values to persuade them to accept novel opinions and/or take action. Permission structures thereby aim to facilitate a change of opinion by building “a process that helps them see [a new] point of view more clearly” (Pfeiffer qtd. in Holland & Bohan, 2013). In other words, people are more likely to change their minds if the new belief is “structured” to connect to their original belief.

One more reminder: Submit your idea for the Technical Communication & Social Justice special issue on "Unjust Permission Structures"

Proposals due tomorrow, Friday, December 20!

I'm teaching an undergraduate course next semester on Technical Communication and Cultural Studies. There's a lot of content to pull from. What are your favorite reads? And if you have time, why?

I wasn't sure if anyone has done this yet, but I went ahead and created a starter pack for #TechCommSky for folks from #TechComm who are slowly but surely migrating to this space. It's not perfect or comprehensive. Please forgive me.
