“…Recent examples in workplace writing include studies of subcontractor networks (B. Lauren & Pigg, 2016), audiences developed by indie rock musicians (Carradini, 2018), and communities of nonprofit stakeholders (Carlson, 2023), as well as Internet communities crystallizing around a shared concern (Gallagher, 2015), text (Morgan & Zachry, 2010), or open-source software product (Swarts, 2019).…”

“…In terms of relating genres serially, Paradis et al (1985) and Kleimann (1993) examined document cycling at professional workspaces, while Devitt (1991) examined genre sets in accounting. Such genres are sometimes formalized and constrained to both guide and restrict the process, as in forms (Balzhiser et al, 2019; Pimentel & Balzhiser, 2012; Popham, 2005) and templates (Gallagher, 2015). Sometimes they are related through an inventional process such as Design Thinking (e.g., Pellegrini, 2022).…”

Many of our ideas about workplaces have been inherited from 20th-century corporations, in which the elements of the workplace have been packaged in a highly typified configuration: work is done by people belonging to an organization, for some clear reason, at a specific place and time, using specific processes. This configuration is increasingly at odds with work practice, and thus workplace writing researchers must reconsider what is meant by the “workplace.” This article argues for treating the workplace as a conceptual decision: a bounded case that researchers construct to enable systematic comparisons. After reviewing how cases are bounded in methodology and practice, the article ends with concrete principles and guidance for bounding such case studies.

“…Through this lens, instructors consider not only how students use and access online courses, but also how they use them rhetorically. This perspective builds upon scholarship that recognizes that interfaces are never ideologically neutral (Arola, 2010;Gallagher, 2015;Hawisher & Selfe, 1991). Accordingly, any analysis of a user's experience must account for "the social, cultural, political, and ideological stakes" of participating (Bjork, 2018, p. 7).…”

Transgender persons face many barriers preventing them from accessing and receiving health care. Gender-transition care can be difficult because such care is frequently contingent upon geopolitics, such as location-based health-care policies that exclude transgender community attitudes and values. This article uses rhetorical cluster analysis to explore the combining two conceptual lenses-tactical technical communication and participatory localization-to study the do-it-yourself geopolitical medical literacies of transgender people in one Reddit forum. We found being trans online means to be tactical and geopolitical, encountering and negotiating geopolitical awareness of health-care options, exposing a privilege invisible to cisgender users.
