Investigating the role of mentoring and training on forensics educators’ feelings of self-efficacy, burnout, and belonging
“They’re the ones that sent me down a flooded road”
Extreme weather intensification due to climate change will necessitate significant human adaptation, either by implementing flood mitigation measures, or by vacating flood zones altogether. Although household-level decision-making strategies for flood mitigation have been studied, little attention has been given to how these decisions are made when repeated floods occur. To address this gap, we interviewed 13 flood-impacted residents of Waterbury…
Challenging Religious Artefacts
A link between American nationalism, Evangelical Christian normativity, and Whiteness is arguably perpetuated by Evangelical Christian rhetorical discourse through artefacts like The Wordless Book that metaphorically describe concepts like salvation. In this article, I use archetypal metaphoric criticism situated in racial microaggressions, anti-Blackness, and critical race theory to examine how The Wordless Book use dark-light colour association…
Navigating Uncertainty in Doctoral Education
The shift to more virtual learning during and since the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted in-person doctoral education by limiting opportunities for face-to-face academic socialization, networking, and collaborative learning, prompting questions about how graduate students could sustain their scholarly development through online spaces. This study examines how graduate students who joined the Qualitative Research Club, a virtual interdisciplinary s…
Instructional Risk and Crisis Communication at Higher Education Institutions during Covid-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges at higher education institutions (HEIs) in managing public health crises were revealed globally. The literature on HEIs has focused on Western/Northern countries and lacks theoretically grounded studies of internal instructional risk communication. This article reports the results of interviews with HEI communication practitioners at 28 universities in 16 countries in the Global South and North regarding t…
Instructional Communication in U.S. Evangelical Christian Youth Ministries
One primary goal of youth ministry programs is to teach adolescents about a given faith and, in doing so, to foster active and ongoing lifelong engagement in spiritual life. Although youth ministry settings differ from conventional classrooms in some ways, their fundamental objective of teaching and learning is the same. In this sense, youth ministers function as “teachers” and adolescents as “students.” This exploratory study examines youth mini…
A Certain Kind of Religion
This critical-qualitative content analysis of the past 20 years of research articles in the Journal of Communication and Religion (JCR) reveals that the vast majority of JCR publications explores power-neutral questions. Additionally, many articles conflate “religion” and “Christianity” in theory and analysis, reinforcing the communication discipline’s epistemological bias toward White, masculine supremacy (Chakravartty et al., 2018). From this w…
Challenging #Sermongate Ontology
Even in academic spaces, the ontology of plagiarism is contested, but it is even more so in Protestant evangelical contexts. Thus the very notion of plagiarism in the academy—and now in religious spaces—is unclear and may be subject to criticisms of power and questions of who gets to define what plagiarism means. In this article, we aim to elucidate the reemerging conversation about plagiarism in sermonic discourse captured in the 2021 #Sermongat…
Bioethics of public commenting
Little scholarly attention has been given to the ethics of public commenting as part of the online federal rule‐making process. This essay argues the process of public commenting on federal regulations in the digital era threatens both the integrity of those regulations and the integrity of the individuals they are meant to protect. The ongoing risk is anonymous public commenting is open to manipulation. This risk is particularly salient for eRul…
Covid and Congregations
Religious organizations are critical in post-crisis renewal. Less is known about how effective these organizations are during other stages of a crisis. Furthermore, religious organizations' crisis messages, especially those sent out via social media channels, are understudied in the larger crisis communication literature. This study adopts holism as a theoretical framework when analyzing religious-based crisis messages sent out over Facebook. Hol…
