Growing out of a six-year process of reflection, deliberation and
writing, and involving over 100 members of the discipline, the
chapters comprising this book indentify and launch reflection about
primary questions that must be engaged by research and pedagogy if
the field of speech communication is to remain vital in academe and
the social world. Four questions were identified as fundamental to
future research and teaching which reflect the heritage of speech
communication and involve the discipline in vigorous dialogue about
consequential intellectual and cultural issues. They are: what do
technological developments and changes in the mission and means of
communication imply for future teaching and scholarship on speech
communication?; what and whose purposes within and beyond the field
do definitions of speech communication serve?; how does increasing
interest in cultural diversity affect research and teaching in
speech communication; and what relationships exist among
communication, power and order, and how should these issues
individually and in tandem be reflected in scholarship and
teaching? A group of chapters is devoted to exploring each of these
questions. In recognising what is shared by scholars and teachers
in diverse areas, and in calling attention to the four issues that
will become increasingly prominent in the cultural landscape, the
chapters spotlight themes and foci germane to the field's health
and identity in the years ahead.
