While the broader field of communication studies is gaining more
global prominence, this is an era when the underrepresented voices
are fortunately becoming more recognized. Communication Theory and
Application in Post-Socialist Contexts illustrates how Eurasia and
Central and Eastern Europe-the post-socialist region-represents a
population of more than 400 million who embody a wide array of
communication experiences. This book aims to capture significant
communication tendencies in several post-socialist countries and
situate these tendencies within communication theory and
application. It contains the examples of theory-building and
adaptation as well as applied projects implemented in national and
local contexts. Only by inclusive incorporation of the
underrepresented experiences in the field's discussions can the
communication discipline continue to assert its relevance in and
for the global community. This book serves as a resource for anyone
on the quest of diversifying and globalizing communication studies.
In Citizenship and Advocacy in Technical Communication, teachers,
researchers, and practitioners will find a variety of theoretical
frameworks, empirical studies, and teaching approaches to advocacy
and citizenship. Specifically, the collection is organized around
three main themes or sections: considerations for understanding and
defining advocacy and citizenship locally and globally, engaging
with the local and global community, and introducing advocacy in a
classroom. The collection covers an expansive breadth of issues and
topics that speak to the complexities of undertaking advocacy work
in TPC, including local grant writing activities, cosmopolitanism
and global transnational rhetoric, digital citizenship and social
media use, strategic and tactical communication, and diversity and
social justice. The contributors themselves, representing fifteen
academic institutions and occupying various academic ranks, offer
nuanced definitions, frameworks, examples, and strategies for
students, scholars, practitioners, and educators who want to or are
already engaged in a variegated range of advocacy work. More so,
they reinforce the inherent humanistic values of our field and
discuss effective rhetorical and current technological tools at our
disposal. Finally, they show us how, through pedagogical approaches
and everyday mundane activities and practices, we (can) advocate
either actively or passively.
