The critical eye, the gendered lens, and “situated”; insights—feminist contributions to professional communication

Linda LaDuc University of Massachusetts Amherst ; Amanda Goldrick Jones Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Abstract

Increasingly, professional communicators are involved in situations in which social action, and questions of ethical and civic responsibility, are implicated. Arguing that feminist scholarship is a relevant and powerful means of understanding these situations, we position the five contributions to this special issue within theoretical frameworks that explore interconnections of gender with methods and practices in technical and professional communication. After outlining areas for future research, we raise the question of men's relation to gender research and feminism, calling for more scholarship that engages a wider spectrum of feminist thought.
