Expanding Human-in-the-Loop
This article proposes a sensemaking methodology to enhance human-in-the-loop technical and professional communication (TPC) practices when working with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) output, which is often ambiguous and not always accurate. Sensemaking describes actions and cognitive strategies humans use to make sense of new/ambiguous information. We argue that sensemaking can help TPC students navigate making sense of GenAI output f…
Rethinking community-engaged pedagogy through posthumanist theory
This paper presents research on a posthumanist approach for reframing community-engaged pedagogy. We employ posthumanist theory as a way to examine the educational possibilities of ethically engaging with technologies and materials as a means to build and sustain community partnerships for social justice. This research project employs a diffractive inquiry involving interview encounters with 20 college writing instructors. The posthumanist approa…
Decolonizing critique through non-Western onto-epistemology
This paper explores how qi onto-epistemology, rooted in non-Western philosophical and aesthetic traditions, can decolonize critique in higher education by challenging Eurocentric conceptions of rational, self-sufficient subjects. Crucial to this exploration is a combination of an affective, holistic view of experience and a fluid and contingent perspective on creative activities. Through the theoretical lens of qi, the study investigates Chinese …
An endangered species
As a collaboratively edited and open-access knowledge archive, Wikipedia offers a vast dataset for training artificial intelligence (AI) applications and models, enhancing data accessibility and access to information. However, reliance on the crowd-sourced encyclopedia raises ethical issues related to data provenance, knowledge production, curation, and digital labor. Drawing on critical data studies, feminist posthumanism, and recent research at…

Toward a ‘More-Than-Digital’ AI Literacy
‘Hidden in My lunch box’
Pairing affect theory with raciolinguistic perspectives, this study examines the racialized and embodied identities of second-generation Chinese American heritage language learners. Drawing on the data collected through in-depth interviews, the study observes that second-generation Chinese Americans’ affective experiences, such as their racialized and embodied encounters with food, fashion, accent, and physical appearance, play a crucial role in …
Composing to Enact Affective Agency
Positioning affective agency as a site of investigation, this study documents how first-year writing students create multimodal antiracist campaigns to critically address the sociopolitical issue of racial justice and to collectively challenge the hegemonic violence of racial profiling. In describing students’ affective engagements with the multimodal campaigns, this study demonstrates the potential of multimodal writing pedagogies in enacting af…
Understanding Writing Instructors’ Feelings toward the Affordances of Multimodal Social Advocacy Projects
This article reports findings from interviews with twenty college instructors who have facilitated multimodal advocacy projects, identifying their affective significance through reflections. Based on our qualitative analysis of instructor responses, we present the implications of multimodal engagement and what it means for doing social advocacy pedagogies with the community
Emotions are what will draw people in”
This study explores the implications of critical affective literacy through digital storytelling projects produced by first‐year college writing students. The goal was to examine college students' affective and emotional responses to social justice issues, such as racial profiling, educational inequality, and animal protection, through the lens of digital storytelling. Pairing multimodal pedagogy with critical affective literacy, this study was c…
Race, affect, and marginalized communities
Extending earlier scholarly discussions surrounding whiteness as a social construct in community-engaged higher education, this paper argues that affect theory provides a promising lens for studying the racialized emotions underlying whiteness in community engagement. Pairing affect theory with antiracist discussions, this paper examines the presence of racialized emotions in community-engaged projects, with the aim of contributing to antiracist …
Examining Multimodal Community-Engaged Projects for Technical and Professional Communication
This study examines the role of multimodality in facilitating service-learning goals. We report findings from qualitative interviews with 20 college instructors who have designed and facilitated multimodal community-engaged learning projects, identifying their motivations, goals, and the impact of these projects through reflections. Based on our qualitative analysis of these instructor responses, we discuss the technological and pedagogical impli…
Influence of Playability on Perceived Game Software Quality
The usability of ISO/IEC 25000 series SQuaRE and other existing software quality models seems unsuitable for unique software products such as game software. This study revealed that playability has a higher predictive capacity than usability for evaluating game software quality using a survey methodology involving 344 Chinese respondents and 142 South Korean respondents. Specifically, dimensions of playability in terms of enjoyable, exciting, fun…
