Leveraging Human-Centered Design and Artificial Intelligence to Improve Rural Healthcare: Wicked Problems, Design Thinking, and Mutable Methodologies
This study explores how a human-centered design (HCD) approach encourages written communication researchers to rethink methodologies when studying wicked problems, particularly in healthcare communication contexts. We argue for “methodological mutability” as a strategy to address complex and evolving challenges in rural healthcare communication. Using design thinking principles, we investigated how generative AI (GenAI) and machine learning can e…
Using Social Network Mapping and Assemblage Theory to Strengthen Rural Health Communications
Rural healthcare communication networks are geographically dispersed, historically layered, and technologically uneven, sustained through evolving interpersonal and improvised ties that resist bounded frameworks like actor-network theory. This study shows how social network mapping, informed by assemblage theory, reveals coverage gaps, fragile hubs, referral chokepoints, and uneven service distribution. These loosely coupled, resource-constrained…
Making Movies with Song: Movement, Style, and the Invitations of Music
This essay responds to Alva Noë's arguments that popular musics (rock, country, etc.) organize listeners through style and personality, while other musics, such as classical and jazz, organize listeners on the music itself. Noë's arguments suggest that music is an existential phenomenon, and thus that music is ontological. There is much to like here, including the idea that musics can be existentially different. However, the work of pop musics ca…
