Technical Communication & Culture
Submission deadline: December 1, 2005

With the immense use of technology and methods for
explaining technical concepts, the election cycle
offers fascinating intersections of technical
communication and popular culture. Yet, the election
cycle is only one of the many areas possible for
analyzing these intersections.

Proposals for papers and panels on the intersection of
technical communication and popular culture are
welcome in areas such as the following:

--Genres: websites, television, flyers, reports
--Ideology, power, and ethics
--Pedagogical implications: how do we =93teach=94 these
new methods and genres?
--Collaboration, structure, and culture: how does the
workplace affect these?
--Philosophies and research methods
--Visual theory, design, usability, especially of
online environments

Share your ideas and join us for the 26th meeting of
