Examining the Double Bind of anti-Racism in (U.S.-Based) Communication Programs’ Statements against Racism
In this study, we critically analyze statements published by doctoral degree-granting Communication programs throughout 2020 and 2021 in response to racism against Black Americans and Asian American/Pacific Islanders. Because anti-racist discourses are intertwined with social practices in that they help create the spaces for equitable policies, we seek to understand the ideological struggles in the discourses around institutional racism during a …
I felt too involved in something that I didn’t know how to deal with”
Considering that women, people of color, and minoritized faculty are expected to provide disproportionate emotional labor, this study focuses on how "immigrant" women faculty navigate emotional labor in U.S. academia. Based on interviews with 28 "immigrant" women across nationality, race/ethnicity, rank, and discipline, this study examines how they navigate emotional labor particularly through the Trump administration and the ongoing COVID-19 pan…
Performative enactments of resistance to academic neoliberalization
Conceptualizing socio-emotional disablism
We utilize duoethnography to help readers better understand the constitutive nature of disability in the contexts of chronic illness and mental health. By doing so, we articulate the concept of socio-emotional disablism, which expands structural and psycho-emotional theories of disablism to account for the ways socio-material interactions trigger emotion-work—the communicative labor and fatigue that accompanies negotiating our own emotions as wel…
Examining Inequitable Workload in a Time of Crisis
Troll Tracking
This case study proposes a method of troll tracking to analyze how right-wing media attacks circulate and contribute to increasing anti-intellectualism in the United States. Given the increase in right-wing political “news” sites as originators of trolling activity and their propensity to espouse anti-intellectualism, we are interested in understanding more deeply how particular instances of this targeted outrage become rhetorical. Our analysis r…
Developing a Method of Critical Thematic Analysis for Qualitative Communication Inquiry
This case study elucidates a method of critical thematic analysis that the authors argue is useful as a methodological tool used to code and interpret in-depth, qualitative interview discourses. They extend Owen's (1984) articulation of thematic analysis via recurrence, repetition, and forcefulness by adding a method of closed coding that identifies the prominence of ideologies, power relations, and status-based hierarchies. This method is demons…
Teaching Critical Moments within Neoliberal Universities
This study seeks to understand critical intercultural communication pedagogy (CICP) and the struggles associated with how to teach intercultural communication from a critical perspective. We explore the nexus of critical communication pedagogy and critical intercultural communication by analysing interview discourses with fifteen self-identified critical intercultural communication instructors across the United States. The analysis revealed theme…
Street Level Learning
This research explores the pedagogical possibilities of semi-structured immersion experiences for service-learning students through an assessment of “Street Retreats” used by one poverty advocacy organization. Qualitative focus groups with 76 participants who participated in a 4-hour Street Retreat. After the semi-structured immersion, students’ awareness of privilege, perceptions of people in poverty, and stereotype projections began to shift to…
Oh my god! You have become so Americanized ”
Guided by De La Garza and Ono’s differential adaptation theory, we examine discourses from immigrant women faculty in the U.S. academy. We utilize thematic analysis to analyze interviews with 26 self-identified immigrant faculty members. Our analysis reveals three interrelating themes: negotiating foreign-female body politics, navigating paradoxes of adaptation, and deploying strategic ambiguity. We theorize the notion of “micro/macro-adaptation”…
Ally, friend, or mentor? Creating and maintaining effective cross-class alliances
This essay (re)examines the notion of intercultural alliances in one U.S. nonprofit organization trying to end poverty. The nonprofit, referred to as Transforming Poverty Partnerships, has built their program around building relationships between people in poverty and middle-class “Allies.” This analysis reveals a number of problematic themes that emerge from previous conceptions of cross-class alliances and implications for improving such allian…
Negotiating Contextually Contingent Agency
This study identifies an emergent framework for situated feminist peacebuilding based on interviews with representatives of community-based organizations in Kenya. We offer situated examples and firsthand accounts of how these women navigate different challenging spaces, wrestle with the relationships between macro-, meso-, and microcontextual factors, and negotiate agency- and systems-level change within patriarchal and politically changing cont…
Multicultural Neoliberalism and Academic Labor
In light of limited attention to immigrant faculty (aka, international faculty) in the U.S. academy, we analyze interview discourses with 26 female immigrant faculty members from multiple disciplines working across U.S. colleges and universities. Collectively, the women’s voices converge around three primary themes pertaining to neoliberal restructuring of higher education: commodification of education, multicultural neoliberalism, and universal …
Relating across Difference for Social Change
This special issue has its origin in an unexpected conversation. At the reception of the International and Intercultural Communication Division at the 2012 National Communication Association Convention, the co-editors of this issue began discussing their participation and affiliation with a variety of nonprofit organizations (NPOs). As we described our involvements, we noticed a few themes. First, the work and success of the NPOs relied criticall…
