ABSTRACT The author proposes a model for reading material characterized by “nested” literacies to decipher complex information where literacy operates in enmeshed and unpredictable ways. A case study of a nesting Allosaurus fragilis illustrates how deciphering multiple interacting literacies can identify areas needing technical communication intervention. In this context, multiple literacies include the usual reconstruction of Allosaurus fragilis in museum displays, the public discourses surrounding the nesting Allosaurus, and the associated scientific literature.

ABSTRACT I propose Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) as an approach for understanding the discursive and material implications of technical documents in distant sites. I provide a historical vignette of MCDA and exemplify how technical and professional communication (TPC) researchers can critically engage with distant sites through MCDA by analyzing materials about GhanaPostGPS, a geolocation technology. I conclude by discussing limitations of MCDA – access to archives – and propose the creation of crowdsourced technical documentation archives.

ABSTRACT As a field committed to solving problems, technical and professional communication (TPC) seems well positioned to engage the challenges that come with social justice work intellectually and respond with practical solutions. In this article, the authors argue that power and legitimacy are critical terms that can propel our social justice work, if we can recast them in our disciplinary history and ultimately renegotiate them in the trajectories of our disciplinary futures.

ABSTRACT This study investigates how instructional design manifests in TPC pedagogies and where educators draw resources from. As TPC expands into areas in which instructional design traditionally governs, scholars need to discern how TPC distinguishes its specialty while providing training to support instructional design practices. Through textbook and syllabus analysis, coupled with instructor interviews, this study reports findings about instructional design pedagogy within TPC based on the themes gathered from the instructors’ experiences and existing resources.

Chock’s work is imperative for TPC designers to read and engage. For TPC instructors interested in using a design justice orientation in their courses, the section on pedagogies gives concrete examples of how to use design justice in teaching. For those involved in community-engaged work, the design justice framework becomes both a useful heuristic and practical guide in these spaces. For those TPC scholars studying online spaces or digital technologies, the narratives, values, and sites sections give ample ideas, concrete actions, theory, and foundational research behind this design justice lens. What the social justice turn in TPC (Jones et. al., 2016; Walton, Moore, & Jones, 2019) and design justice efforts are, in part, asking us to do is bring tacit knowledge to the forefront, to make explicit how technical documents, infrastructure, and technological design privilege and benefit certain users while oppressing or disenfranchising others, and to pay more attention to how what we create is not neutral. Costanza-Chock deftly and expertly does just that.
Chock的作品是TPC设计师阅读和参与的必要条件。对于有兴趣在课程中使用设计公正导向的TPC讲师，教学法部分给出了如何在教学中使用设计正义的具体例子。对于那些参与社区参与工作的人来说，设计正义框架在这些空间中既是一种有用的启发式方法，也是一种实用的指南。对于那些研究在线空间或数字技术的TPC学者来说，叙事、价值观和网站部分提供了充足的想法、具体行动、理论和设计正义视角背后的基础研究。TPC中的社会正义转向（Jones et al.，2016；Walton，Moore，&Jones，2019）和设计正义努力在一定程度上要求我们将隐性知识带到最前沿，明确技术文件、基础设施和技术设计如何在压迫或剥夺他人权利的同时，使某些用户受益，更多地关注我们创造的东西是如何不中立的。Costanza Chock巧妙而熟练地做到了这一点。

ABSTRACT Our largest multidisciplinary problems outpace disciplinary training designed to reinforce boundaries. Using an interdisciplinary conversation about adolescent brain imaging, I argue that disciplinary stances (interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary) operate like rhetorical stases, helping diagnose where conversations build or diverge among experts. Because what constitutes interdisciplinarity is contested, mapping rhetorical features of each disciplinary stance stabilizes definitional debates by grounding interactions in specific discursive practices and offers technical communicators ways to facilitate and participate in stronger crossdisciplinary communication.
