“…An example of dramatizing within an originating context that chains outward is found in Kroll (1983). This study details the chaining of fantasy in a woman's movement within a midwestern metropolis.…”

“…Assumptions about the character of membership in communities are later exposed and comple-mented with ideas on members' multiple identity commitments and conflicts. Prior research has examined communities such as management (Bormann, 1983a), social movements (e.g., Chesebro, Cragan, & McCullough, 1973;Kroll, 1983), and nations (e.g., Bormann, Cragan, & Shields, 1996).…”

Symbolic Convergence Theory (SCT)—an explanation of the process and consequences of human symbolizing—has enjoyed popularity in communication studies but, in organizational communication, its appeal has declined, perhaps because of perceptions of its irrelevance to complex and contemporary concerns. To develop SCT’s appeal as well as its possible resurgence, this article rouses and redirects it. In rousing SCT, the article reviews its central statements, remembers its uses, and lays bare some weaknesses (i.e., explaining why humans narrate reality and share dramas, restrictive convergence assumptions, and restrictive assumptions about membership in rhetorical communities). In redirecting SCT, the article relaxes and complements its assumptions with ideas from organizational communication theories (i.e., sensemaking, power and politics, bona fide groups, and multiple identifications) and points a reinvigorated SCT toward exploring coalition action in response to leader behaviors at Harvard Business Review and the University of Colorado.

“…SCT was originally developed by Dr. Ernest G. Bormann (1972Bormann ( , 1985 and has been applied to a wide range of topics including political rhetorical visions (Bormann, 1973;Bormann, Cragan, & Shields, 1996;Bormann, Kroll, Watters, & McFarland, 1984;Kroll, 1983;Mueller, 2004), graduate school motivation (Stone, 2002), and mass media and organizational group communication studies (Aleman, 2005;Bishop, 2003;Duffy, 2003;Preston, 2006;Putnam, Van Hoeven, & Bullis, 1991;Shields, 1981). Community coalitions are a logical addition to this list.…”

“…Though the bulk of SCT studies look at fantasy themes, rhetorical visions, and the chaining of messages sent by one organization or individual, SCT's conceptualization of rhetorical communities and prior studies (e.g., Kroll, 1983;Huxman, 1996) afford the rhetorical space for scholars to use the messages of more than one entity to examine the existence or shift in rhetorical visions, particularly when they are tied to the early stages of the life cycle of rhetorical visions outlined above. For example, using the rhetoric of two different women's movement organizations, Kroll (1983) explained how the fantasy themes, types, and rhetorical visions of the women's movement in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul required subtle but necessary shifts to advance the movement beyond the consciousness-raising stage. In doing so, Kroll thoroughly outlined how the fantasy themes and types advanced by each organization led to the success or failure in building support for or opposition to the organizations' rhetorical visions.…”

Applying Symbolic Convergence Theory to Pre-service Teachers’ Responses to Mathematics Education Organizations’ Statements on Racial Violence

In June 2020, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) released statements regarding racism, racial violence, and mathematics teaching. Pre-service elementary teachers (PSTs) in a mathematics content course wrote reactions to the organizations’ statements. After using an emergent coding process to code the reactions for major themes, the authors used a theory from communication studies called symbolic convergence theory to analyze how closely the PSTs’ understanding of the statements aligned with the vision espoused by the organizations in the statements. PSTs largely understood the need to make their classrooms safe and supportive spaces; however, they struggled to connect anti-racist ideals specifically to mathematics teaching. The authors discuss potential ways NCTM and AMTE can address this disconnect.
