The purpose of Communicating in the Anthropocene: Intimate
Relations is to tell a different story about the world. Humans,
especially those raised in Western traditions, have long told
stories about themselves as individual protagonists who act with
varying degrees of free will against a background of mute
supporting characters and inert landscapes. Humans can be either
saviors or destroyers, but our actions are explained and judged
again and again as emanating from the individual. And yet, as the
coronavirus pandemic has made clear, humans are unavoidably
interconnected not only with other humans, but with nonhuman and
more-than-human others with whom we share space and time. Why do so
many of us humans avoid, deny, or resist a view of the world where
our lives are made possible, maybe even made richer, through
connection? In this volume, we suggest a view of communication as
intimacy. We use this concept as a provocation for thinking about
how we humans are in an always-already state of being-in-relation
with other humans, nonhumans, and the land.
Water, Rhetoric, and Social Justice: A Critical Confluence examines
how individuals and communities have responded on a global scale to
present day water crises as matters of social justice, through
oratory, mass demonstration, deliberation, testimony, and other
rhetorical appeals. This book applies critical communication
methods and perspectives to interrogate the pressing yet
mind-boggling dilemma currently faced in environmental studies and
policy: that clean water, the very stuff of life, which flows
freely from the tap in affluent areas, is also denied to huge
populations, materially and fluidly exemplifying the currents of
justice, liberty, and equity. Contributors highlight discourse and
water justice movements in nonofficial spheres from activists,
artists, and the grassroots. In extending the technical, economic,
moral, and political conversations on water justice, this
collection applies special focus on the novel rhetorical concepts
and responses not necessarily unique to but especially enacted in
water justice situations. Scholars of rhetoric, sociology,
activism, communication, and environmental studies will find this
book particularly useful.

Transgender Communication Studies: Histories, Trends, and
Trajectories brings scholarship in transgender studies to the
forefront of the communication discipline. Leland Spencer and Jamie
Capuzza provide a broad foundation that documents the evolution of
transgender communication studies and challenges fundamental
assumptions about the relationship between communication and
identity. The contributors explore the political conditions these
practices create for persons across the spectrum of gender
identities and sexual orientations, placing them in the
subdisciplines of human communication, media, and public and
rhetorical communication. The collection also looks to the future
of transgender research with suggestions and directives for
continued work. This comprehensive study inspires critical thinking
about gender identity and transgender lives from within the
vocabularies and methodologies of communication studies.
