This book brings attention to the communicative process of editing
as a dialogic experience that is attentive to the voice of the
Other, and underlines an ethical turn for the editing process. The
volume focuses on an essential, yet undertheorized, aspect of the
communicative practice of editing by reading and receiving the
voice of the Other and offering feedback towards assisting the text
to find a voice without turning it to the voice of the editor.
Utilizing the theoretical and philosophical frameworks of a diverse
group of leading scholars and philosophers, contributors to this
volume explore the editing process as connected to communication
ethics that calls for a discernment of what matters. With its
philosophical underpinnings, this book will especially be of
interest to researchers and students in multiple disciplines in
humanities and the social sciences including communication studies,
dialogue studies, philosophy, literature, composition studies,
education, history, anthropology, psychology, sociology, religious
studies, and political science.
Communicating with Our Families: Continuity, Interruption, and
Transformation explores the impact of personal communication
technologies on family communication. In this historical moment,
novel communication technologies and social media applications
infiltrate our family units. This edited collection examines how
communication technologies are shaping childhood, parenthood, and
families by exploring topics such as parental loneliness, family
storytelling, family technology rules, mindful technology usage,
multigenerational communication, and community. The scholars in
this volume work from a human communication perspective and use
various research modes of inquiry including quantitative,
qualitative, and interpretive methods. Through the integration and
presentation of diverse research questions tested and responded to
from a variety of scholarly approaches, a nuanced exploration of
communication technology utilized within a family setting is
provided. Since the family is indeed "the first communication
classroom," this volume interrogates how that classroom may be
changing and the implications of that change on different roles,
responsibilities, and relationships within the family. Perhaps the
most significant question implied by our contributors in this
volume: Will the introduction of new communication technologies
fundamentally alter familial forms and will those new grouping that
emerge resemble what has been generally assumed for several
millennia?
Philosophy of Communication Ethics is a unique and timely
contribution to the study of communication ethics. This series of
essays articulates unequivocally the intimate connection between
philosophy of communication and communication ethics. This
scholarly volume assumes that there is a multiplicity of
communication ethics. What distinguishes one communication ethic
from another is the philosophy of communication in which a
particular ethic is grounded. Philosophy of communication is the
core ingredient for understanding the importance of and the
difference between and among communication ethics. The position
assumed by this collection is consistent with Alasdair MacIntyre's
insights on ethics. In A Short History of Ethics, he begins with
one principal assertion-philosophy is subversive. If one cannot
think philosophically, one cannot question taken-for-granted
assumptions. In the case of communication ethics, to fail to think
philosophically is to miss the bias, prejudice, and assumptions
that constitute a given communication ethic.

Communicative Understandings of Women's Leadership Development:
From Ceilings of Glass to Labyrinth Paths, edited by Elesha L.
Ruminski and Annette M. Holba, intertwines the disciplines of
communication studies, leadership studies, and women's studies to
offer theoretical and practical reflection about women's leadership
development in academic, organizational, and political contexts.
Women's leadership development exists at the intersection of
consciousness-raising, communication competence, and education to
increase one's knowledge and practice of "leadership," which makes
the weaving together of these three disciplines important. Thus,
Communicative Understandings of Women's Leadership Development
claims a space for women's leadership studies and acknowledges the
paradigmatic shift from discussing women's leadership using the
glass ceiling phenomenon to what Eagly and Carli (2007) identify as
the labyrinth of leadership. Recognizing this metaphoric shift is
crucial because many women now develop leadership amid the
postmodern flux of organizational change; hierarchical, top-down
systems are being eroded in lieu of transformational,
collaborative, even improvisational leadership processes. Women's
leadership studies is emerging as a fruitful interdisciplinary area
that reframes the debate about whether we live, work, and learn
within a third-wave feminist or post-feminist context. While this
area might include feminist theorizing, it also might not emphasize
such epistemologies. For this reason, Ruminski and Holba's edited
collection explores and highlights a variety of feminist and
non-feminist intersections, and is thus an important and timely
contribution to both marking where we are with women's leadership
development in higher education and how women can further develop
themselves as leaders.
