Going Rogue: How I Became a Communication Specialist in an Engineering Department

Julie Dyke Ford New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology

Abstract

Program location has been a key conversation piece in discussions concerning the technical communication profession. Less attention has been devoted toward location of individual faculty, particularly those who may be the lone communicator in departments outside of English or humanities. Although these arrangements may not be without challenges, they also may yield unique opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations and professional identity shaping in ways that more traditional academic technical communication positions do not.
