Advocates and Allies
In this two-part Dispatch we first trace the evolution of three interdependent terms – advocacy, allyship, and accountability – as a means to highlight their changing roles in driving impactful social justice efforts, then explore how this triad is manifested in a gender equity advocacy program fashioned at a Midwestern United States university, the Advocates and Allies (A&A) initiative. In Part 1, we describe a memetic theory of culture to situa…
Strategically Mean
In this chapter we draw connections between current research on relational aggression in psychology, education, new media studies, and communication to make a case for extending the study of relational aggression by communication scholars. We also challenge the prevailing conceptualization of relational aggression as a pathological trait specific to young girls, arguing that it should be studied as a situation-specific communication strategy, emp…

Incorporating Mythic and Interpretive Analysis in the Investigation of Hearing Loss on the Family Farm
Despite knowing about the dangers of hearing loss, farmers typically choose not to protect their hearing. Examining the myth of farm life, this study aims to discern whether rhetorical myths influence farmers' decisions to wear hearing protection. Researchers conducted 40 interviews with farmers regarding farm life and hearing loss. Results suggest that farmers typically do not use hearing protection; their answers reflect the myths of sacrifice …
Using Multiple Coding Schemes to Understand Argument in In the Jury Room
The present study analyzes argument in jury deliberations by using the Conversational Argument Coding Scheme (CACS) and the content of juror argument using Subject Matter Argument Assessment (SMAA) (CitationPettus, 1990). The main purpose is to illustrate how the two coding schemes can complement each other to provide rich yet systematic characterization of argument in jury deliberation. Jury deliberations drawn from In the Jury Room, a televised…
A Regional Analysis of Assertiveness
Co-cultural differences in assertiveness within the United States have not been explored, despite noted regional differences in communication patterns (Andersen, Lustig, & Andersen, 1987). This study examines assertiveness behaviors, focusing on university students from the Upper Midwest (n = 148) and the New York Metropolitan region (n = 159) who completed the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (Rathus, 1973 Rathus, SA. 1973. A 30-item schedule for a…
Judge Nonverbal Communication on Trial
This study investigated jurors' reactions to judges' nonverbal communication in mock trials. Participants in 80 mock juries viewed taped segments of direct and cross examination that varied the judges' level of nonverbal involvement. Comments about the judge were solicited in predeliberation questionnaires and unsolicited comments obtained from dialogue that occurred during mock jury deliberations. The investigation found that jurors are aware of…
Rhetorical Exclusion in the Trial of Leonard Peltier
In February 1973 American Indians and members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) began a seventy-one-day occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Their goal was to protest tactics used by the Pine Ridge Reservation tribal chair, such as abuse of power, misuse of monies, and use of a repressive personal police force.' The United States government responded with a military-style siege against the protesters.2 In the end, various U.S. officials …
