Along with Saudi women’s increased presence and participation in mixed-gender workforces and the current government’s reform initiative, Saudi Vision 2030, their communication opportunities with male coworkers have also increased. Guided by intergroup contact theory, the current online survey tested the influences of Saudi female journalists’ (N = 198) report of communication quantity and communication quality with male coworkers on their affecti…

This phronetic research study analyzed 27 semi…

Automation Anxieties
This study uses a sample of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians (N = 240) who differ in skill, education, and income to replicate and extend past findings about socioeconomic disparities in the perceptions of automation. Specifically, this study applies the skills-biased technical change hypothesis, an economic theory that low-skill jobs are the most likely to be affected by increased automation (Acemoglu & Restrepo, 2019), to the mental models …
The Pain of Performative Professionalism
This essay is the personal and professional perspective of the National Communication Association Organizational Communication Division's awards chair during the 2019 convention. It explores issues of emotion, work, professionalism, silence, embodiment, symbolic violence, and intersectional precarity from the vantage point of an outsider within the academy and the discipline of communication studies
Sociomaterial struggle
Using the ontological lens of sociomateriality with the theoretical notion of struggle, this critical ethnography explores interactions within an unemployment support organization run by white collar workers who train working class populations for skilled blue collar occupations. Results illustrate how sociomaterial struggle is enacted in two ways: struggle against embodied others and struggle against discursive forces. The first theme, struggle …
Interability Contact and the Reduction of Interability Prejudice
Guided by intergroup contact and communication accommodation theories, this study tested the effects of U.S. participants' ( N = 286) communication with their most frequent contact who had a visible physical disability and its effects on attitudes toward and stereotypes of people with disabilities as a whole. As predicted, mediation analysis showed the type of interability contact (i.e., nonfamily = 1 and family = 2), and participants' perception…
A Photovoice study of food (in)security, unemployment, and the discursive-material dialectic
Using a discursive-material framework, this study explored the complex ways in which food security and food insecurity are expressed and experienced by people who are unemployed. A Photovoice study of 21 individuals from across the social class spectrum revealed the way jobless individuals navigate the discursive-material dialectic regarding their food (in)security. In the first theme, food insecurity as figure, resource-deprived participants had…
