Communication scholars have taken seriously the call for engaged
scholarship, and this book examines the principles, practices, and
outcomes of communication activism research for social justice.
Communication activism research differs from other engaged
communication scholarship through researchers promoting social
justice, intervening collaboratively, and creating or assisting
established collective actors that represent marginalized
communities. Collective actors examined in this book include Black
Lives Matter, the feminist movement, and LGBTQ+ groups. The book
provides practical guidance on how to perform communication
activism research, offering recommendations for managing its
challenges and discussing qualitative and quantitative methods for
evaluating research interventions focusing on significant
contemporary issues. This book will appeal to scholars who study
and teach communication and social justice activism as well as
scholars from disciplines such as sociology, and it is ideal as a
text in courses on communication and activism, engaged
communication scholarship, communication and social movements, and
communication research methods.

These two texts showcase how scholars have engaged in communication
activism to assist individuals, groups, organizations, and
communities to secure social reform. Volume 2 focuses on research
studies that show how media can be managed to promote social change
and how performance can serve as an important form of communication
activism. Together, these two volumes demonstrate the significant
effects that communication scholars, working from many different
theoretical and methodological traditions, can have on promoting
social change, especially for those who are most marginalized, when
they engage in communication activism.
