“…For RHM, this means we have other important roles and responsibilities beyond good scholarship. First, there's more room in RHM for collaborative research and consulting, especially in public health (see, e.g., Kuehl et al, 2020). While we don't want to act as "missionary" researchers (Segal et al, 1998), our expertise can help answer difficult questions about publics and health (Keränen, 2014;Malkowski & Melonçon, 2019).…”

This dialogue offers a transnational perspective on the emergence of public health officials (PHOs) as celebrities during the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on scholarship on public health rhetorics (e.g., Keränen, 2014; Malkowski & Melonçon, 2019) and on our experiences of living through the ongoing pandemic as well as observing its effects in Australia, Canada, China, and the United States, we focused our discussion on our local contexts; key public health celebrities who emerged in those contexts; changes in public reaction to those figures over time; and why the celebrification of public health figures is of interest to scholars in rhetoric of health and medicine. We close by reflecting on how our transnational discussion of public health celebrities has reshaped our understanding of celebrification in health and outline key areas of future collaboration and inquiry.

“…Cross (2021) explained that intergroup dialogues facilitate having uncomfortable or difficult conversations about race and gender in the classroom. Community-based participatory research partnerships, which often include campus/community partnerships, can foster relationships across cultural differences (Kuehl et al, 2020). Exposure to people who are culturally different from oneself cultivates empathy and increases understanding of people's diverse lived experiences.…”

The question I analyze in this case study is how might one use civic engagement to foster campus/community relationships in this polarized era? I describe a teaching challenge in intercultural communication. Students have consistently reported that they arrive to this university from rural, majority-White communities where they have not experienced opportunities to communicate with culturally diverse groups. To address this challenge, I developed a semester-long assignment that provides a structured partnership between students in my Intercultural Communication course and campus co-cultural student groups. To assess this assignment’s benefit to the pedagogy surrounding polarization across cultural differences, I qualitatively analyzed themes in students’ reflection papers (N = 128 papers) from the last five sections of the course (2016–2020). Students addressed how these partnerships helped them develop (1) intercultural competence, (2) acceptance or appreciation through allyship, and (3) curiosity about other cultures. I conclude with implications, including how colleagues might use this assignment in other rural, land-grant public university settings.

“…Our study also highlights how engaging patient participants and multidisciplinary collaboration build on and mutually inform one another. Collaborations with clients, users, industry partners, and extra-disciplinary researchers have been central to TC research particularly for usability and UX studies (see Cardinal et al, 2020;Melonçon, 2017;Renguette, 2016; and research in health contexts (see Graham et al, 2017;Kuehl et al, 2020;Opel et al, 2018). As we considered the past, present, and future of UX research for this special issue, we realized that core to our study and its engagement with patient participants was multidisciplinary collaboration; thus we aim to extend prior collaborative research by further elucidating the value of multidisciplinary collaborations as well as actionable considerations these collaborations require for PXD research.…”

Health and medical contexts have emerged as an important area of inquiry for researchers at the intersection of user experience and technical communication. In addressing this intersection, this article advocates and extends patient experience design or PXD ( Melonçon, 2017 ) as an important framework for user experience research within health and medicine. Specifically, this article presents several PXD insights from a task-based usability study that examined an online intervention program for people with voice problems. We respond to Melonçon's call ( 2017 ) to build PXD as a framework for user experience and technical communication research by describing ways traditional usability methods can provide PXD insights and asking the following question: What insights can emerge from combining traditional usability methods and PXD research? In addressing this question, we outline two primary methodological and practical considerations we found central to conducting PXD research: (1) engaging patients as participants, and (2) leveraging multidisciplinary collaboration.
