Enacting compassion in mHealth: Communicative subprocesses of compassionate coaching and their relationships to resilience during a prolonged pandemic
This study examines communicative enactments of compassion in mHealth-based coaching in the context of a prolonged pandemic. We conducted individual interviews with mHealth intervention participants in high and low resilience groups to investigate (a) the emerging patterns of compassionate coaching in mHealth and (b) the differences in coaching practices between the two groups. Our findings reveal how communication constitutes compassion by illus…
Discursive, Communal, and Individual Coping Strategies: How U.S. Adults Co-constructed Coping During Preliminary Covid-19 Stressors
This interpretive research study explores U.S. adults’ lived experiences during the beginning months of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Participants (N= 44), recruited from a convenience sample of U.S. adults, engaged in in-depth semi-structured interviews or focus groups. Through an iterative analysis of participants’ experiences and the theoretical model of communal coping (TMCC), the authors identified three convergent stressors (i.e., isolation…
‘Chemical jail’: Culture-centered theorizing of carcerality in methadone maintenance treatment and addiction recovery in the United States
This study draws from qualitative interviews with eight adults living in the United States using methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) to recover from opioid addiction and dependence. While MMT can enhance the health and lives of methadone recipients, in this study we argue how MMT relies on carceral discourses of surveillance, discipline, and regulation to contain and control addicted bodies to secure whiteness. Using the culture-centered approa…
Embodied fragments: Embracing risk, failure, resistance, and pedagogical possibility
This video performance utilizes collage and assemblage to embody risk, failure, and possibility in the communication classroom as well as to explore how such embodiments function as disruptions to normative expectations. Informed by Amy Kilgard’s “pedagogy of chaos,” framework for “collage” the performers generate collaborative fragments of the classroom experience to speak with one another, with the audience, and as distinct, individual voices. …
Muddying the Pioneer Past-Present
This essay explores how rhetorics of whiteness and settler colonialism operate within tours performed at two official Church Historic Sites—The Mormon Battalion Center and the Mormon Trails Center. Using settler colonialism as a theoretical framework, we offer three examples of how tours given at these sites reify settler colonial logics including object representations of family relationalities, the trading of a woven basket, and an interactive …
Pubic scarves and earthworm sex: Storying Indigenous eroticisms for sovereign relations and futures
For Indigenous peoples, being in good relations with land is crucial for our survival, sovereignty, and decolonization. Our relations are our medicine. This essay suggests that through Indigenous eroticisms, we can better maintain our relations with the complex, life-giving and sustaining ecological and cosmological worlds and our accountability to these worlds, such as the lives and humanity of other-humans and more-than-human beings. In doing s…

Collective Emotion During Collective Trauma: A Metaphor Analysis of the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study provides insight into lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Participant metaphors of the pandemic were collected by conducting in-depth semi-structured interviews ( N = 44). Participants were asked to compare the pandemic with an animal and with a color, and to provide contextual sensemaking about their metaphors. A metaphor analysis revealed four convergent mental models of participants' pandemic experiences…
