This is the first scholarly monograph marking the social justice
turn in technical and professional communication (TPC). Social
justice often draws attention to structural oppression, but to
enact social justice as technical communicators, first, we must be
able to trace daily practice to the oppressive structures it
professionalizes, codifies, and normalizes. Technical Communication
After the Social Justice Turn moves readers from conceptual
explorations of oppression and justice to a theoretical framework
that allows for the concepts to be applied and implemented in a
variety of practical contexts. It historicizes the recent social
justice turn in TPC scholarship, models a social justice approach
to building theories and heuristics, and presents scenarios that
illustrate how to develop sustainable practices of activism and
social justice. Its commitment to coalition building, inclusivity,
and socially just practices of citation and activism will support
scholars, teachers, and practitioners not only in understanding how
the work of technical communication is often complicit in
oppression but also in recognizing, revealing, rejecting, and
replacing oppressive practices.
