User Experience and Technical Communication: Beyond Intertwining

Emma J. Rose ; Joanna Schreiber Georgia Southern University

Abstract

In this special issue, we reflect on the past and current connections between TC and UX, it is important to recognize the value the two fields bring to one another. The articles in this collection illustrate a move into new spaces, incorporating new methods, and forging new connections and provide us an opportunity to conceptualize the continuously evolving relationship between the fields.
