Leveraging Human-Centered Design and Artificial Intelligence to Improve Rural Healthcare
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…
Creating and Sustaining an Antiracist Pedagogy Group in Technical and Professional Communication
This article explores the creation and sustainment of a standing antiracist pedagogy group in a technical and professional communication program at a large, predominantly white Midwestern R1 university with a strong STEM culture. Reflecting on personal and collective experiences, group members discuss the evolution of the group, how the group fosters sustained engagement and ongoing development among its members, and its hopes (as well as challen…
One Size Does Not Fit All
This study investigates how chronic pain is represented in widely used pain assessment scales. Through a thematic analysis, four overarching themes are identified: pain is framed as a linear continuum, depicted as a progressive bodily obstacle, normalized to a baseline of zero, and characterized as a predictable condition. The design of these scales oversimplifies the complexities of chronic pain into a linear narrative that can potentially margi…
