Full Description
In "Strategies for Professional Status, Volume II of Power and Legitimacy in Technical Communication", the contributors-well-known academics and practitioners in technical communications - set out to redefine and reconceive the role of the technical communicator. The chapters in this volume challenge some of our contemporary notions about what it means to be a technical communicator, so that practitioners might gain the power and status necessary to make decisions and to function in a socially and ethically responsible manner.
