Administrators of academic professional and technical communication
(PTSC) programs have long relied upon lore--stories of what
works--to understand and communicate about the work of program
administration. Stories are interesting, telling, engaging, and
necessary. But a discipline focused primarily on stories,
especially the ephemeral stories narrated at conferences and
deliberated at department meetings, usually suffice primarily to
solve immediate problems and address day-to-day concerns and
activities. This edited collection captures some of those stories
and layers them with theoretical perspectives and reflection, to
enhance their usefulness to the PTSC program administration
community at large. Like the ephemeral stories PTSC program
administrators are accustomed to, the stories told in this volume
are set within specific institutional contexts that reflect
specific institutional challenges. They emphasize the intellectual
traces--the debts the authors owe to those who have informed and
transformed their administrative work. In so doing, this collection
creates another conversation--albeit a robust, diverse, and
theoretically informed one--around which program leaders might
define or redefine their roles and re-envision their administrative
work as the rich, complex, intellectual engagement that we find it
to be. This volume asks authors to move beyond a notion of
administration as an activity based solely in institutional details
and processes. In so doing, they emphasize theory as they share
their reflections on core administrative processes and significant
moments in the histories of their associated programs, thereby
affording opportunities for critical examination in conjunction
with practical advice.
