Making Tech Comm more Inclusive, Part 1: Dr. Avery Edenfield on the Tactical Technical Communication of Transgender Communities

10-Minute Tech Comm

Welcome to the first episode in a series about making technical communication more inclusive. Dr. Avery Edenfield talks about his research into the ways that transgender people share experiences and repurposed scientific literature in online forums. These types of communities help technical communicators redefine standards of success and emphasize participatory research design. Dr. Edenfield shares insights from his recent publications, including "Queering Tactical Technical Communication: DIY HRT," written with Steve Holmes and Jared S. Colton, and "Tactical Technical Communication in Communities: Legitimizing Community-Created User-Generated Instructions," written with Lehua Ledbetter.
