[ATTW-L] Call for Student Contributions for the “Student Perspectives” Column in STC’s Intercom magazine

[Ryan Weber]

The *Intercom <https://www.stc.org/intercom/>* magazine, the official
magazine of the Society for Technical Communication (STC), has created a
new Student Perspectives column dedicated to publishing short (750-1,000
word) entries written by students enrolled in graduate and undergraduate
programs in technical, scientific, professional, or business communication.
Students are encouraged to submit their work for consideration!



Students are welcome to send queries, suggestions, or questions in advance
of their submission. Students interested in contributing to this column
should contact the Student Perspectives column editor, Ryan Weber, at
rw0019 at uah.edu, and the subject line of the related email should contain
the words “Intercom Student Perspectives Column.”



Of particular interest is student work that focuses on the following topics:


   - Leadership in technical communication, both in industry and academia
   - The state of technical communication education
   - The state of the technical communication industry
   - Proposed uses of social media in technical communication contexts
   - New and emerging media trends/developments that might affect technical
   communication practices or could be used by technical communicators
   - Legal and policy developments that could affect technical
   communication practices
   - Emerging practices in information design – including document design,
   web design, and interface design
   - Strategies for understanding audiences and users and meeting their
   needs
   - Focused examinations of usability/user experience design approaches as
   related to technical communication
   - Content management and content strategy practices associated with
   technical communication
   - Ethical issues in technical communication
   - Research practices that can help technical communicators better
   understand and address the expectations of different audiences
   - Educational approaches related to the teaching of technical
   communication (particularly in online contexts)
   - International aspects of technical communication
   - Suggested applications of theory to technical communication practices

Students may also write about other topics that might interest technical
communicators working in education, industry, or academia.



This column accepts submissions from any graduate or undergraduate student
currently enrolled in an educational program (e.g., certificate or degree
program) in technical, scientific, professional, or business communication,
and the column publishes both single-authored entries as well as
co-authored manuscripts/manuscripts written by two or more student authors.
