This anthology brings together voices from industry and academia in
a call for elevating the status, identity, value, and influence of
technical communicators. Editors Barbara Mirel and Rachel Spilka
assert that technical communicators must depart from their
traditional roles, moving instead in a more influential and
expansive direction. To help readers explore the possibilities,
contributions from innovative thinkers and leaders in technical
communication propose ways to redefine the field's identity and
purposes and to expand the parameters of its work. The chapters
included here all point toward new directions for greater growth
and influence of the field. Contributors depart from traditional
ideas and solutions and discuss new and in some cases radical
points, provoking further thought and discussion. Its exploration
of fresh territory uncovers new research topics and directions, and
provides an examination of both internal, industry-academia
relationships and external relationships between technical
communicators and other professionals. In its entirety, this
collection represents an inclusive vision for the future, targeting
such wide-ranging issues as creating effective professional
organizations, disseminating research to diverse audiences,
transitioning to more influential job roles, exerting leadership in
usability, and creating hybrid identities and collaborative
programs between industry and academic to support them. The diverse
voices from industry and academia will inspire readers to think
differently about the discipline's identity and direction, and to
build on the ideas they find herein to effect change within their
own spheres. As required reading for academics and professionals in
technical communication, this collection is a critical step in
reshaping and reinvigorating the technical communication field to
ensure its survival and growth in the 21st century.
