Critical Approaches to Climate Justice, Technology, and Technical Communication Special Issue Introduction

Sarah Beth Hopton Appalachian State University ; Prashant Rajan Salesforce (United States)

Abstract

This special issue amplifies the contributions of technical communicators working on climate justice initiatives across the Majority World. By Majority World, we refer not to a specific geography but to the conditions in which most of humanity lives: lacking economic, social, and/or political agency, and absent adequate institutional access to critical infrastructures. The articles in this issue make explicit the need for TPC scholars to rethink, update, and engage in spaces of environmental injustice.
