Professional Critical Consciousness: Bridging Classroom Theory with Workplace Practice

Margaret Hsiao Utah State University

Abstract

In this Methodologies and Approaches piece, I introduce the concept of professional critical consciousness (PCC). PCC combines professional consciousness and critical consciousness to form a workplace praxis centered on social justice. I describe PCC using work and classroom experiences and provide instructors with assignment ideas to promote PCC. By learning how to increase one's power and legitimacy in the workplace, technical communicators can use PCC in ways that are more intentional and socially just.
