This special issue of "Technical Communication Quarterly" continues
the work of the winter 2004 issue of gathering information and
reflecting on the state of technical communication in its academic
context. The two issues together provide historical background on
the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) as well as
data on current academic members of the field and their jobs, their
teaching and research, and their programs. The narrow goal of the
issues is to help ATTW plan for the future by identifying needs,
interests, and responsibilities of members, but the broader goal is
to define for anyone with an interest the values and current
practices as well as the gaps and visions of technical
communication in its academic context.
Several recent developments in the history of the Association of
Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW) and "Technical Communication
Quarterly (TCQ)" led to this special issue on the state of
technical communication in its academic context. This issue focuses
on the work of the association as it helps to guide the evolution
of the field, including a description of its members, reflections
on the journal and its history, assessment of student learning,
research in the field, and the academic job market. The articles
are written by members of the Executive Committee and their
collaborators or by others who have been identified as leaders in a
particular subject area. The ATTW Executive Committee has taken the
opportunity that change offers for some self-study and reflection
on the field and the role of academics in it. This reflection will
help both leaders of the association and academics in general to
develop a vision and plan for the future.
