This handbook interrogates and illustrates contemporary approaches to technical and professional communication (TPC) by focusing on emerging issues in the field. Using a social justice-centered approach, the handbook provides a view of the current state of the discipline and highlights emerging directions and perspectives that will influence the trajectory of the field in the coming years. It is divided into five interrelated parts:
- Disciplinarity
- Pedagogy
- Practice
- Social Change
- Intersections: Cultures and Communities
Acknowledging that TPC is always embedded and participating in specific power structures, The Routledge Handbook of Social Justice in Technical and Professional Communication offers readers a way forward, a future imagined and re-imagined, and presents scholarship that is progress-in-process for TPC. Providing frameworks and strategies for embracing a social justice-driven approach, this handbook will be of interest to scholars, teachers, administrators, community leaders, and workplace and industry practitioners in the field of TPC.
