[ATTW-L] New CDQ article on TPC's misuse of decolonial frameworks

[Luke Thominet]

Dear Colleagues,

CDQ has a new Online First article by Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq and Breeanne Matheson, "Decolonizing Decoloniality: Considering the (Mis)use of Decolonial Frameworks in TPC Scholarship<http://sigdoc.acm.org/cdq/decolonizing-decoloniality-considering-the-misuse-of-decolonial-frameworks-in-tpc-scholarship/>" (sigdoc.acm.org/cdq/decolonizing-decoloniality-considering-the-misuse-of-decolonial-frameworks-in-tpc-scholarship/).

Article Abstract: As the field of technical and professional communication (TPC) has moved toward more inclusive perspectives, the use of decolonial frameworks has increased rapidly. However, TPC scholarship designed using decolonial frameworks lacks a clear, centralized definition and may overgeneralize and/or marginalize Indigenous concerns. Using a corpus analysis of TPC texts, this paper assesses the ways that the field uses "decolonial" and proposes a centralized definition of "decolonial" that focuses on rematriation of Indigenous land and knowledges. Further, it offers a heuristic that aids scholars in communication design appropriate for decolonial research and teaching strategies.

We invite you to contribute to the conversation. Communication Design Quarterly strives to be a place open to all types of research and writing as it relates to communication design, and we welcome non-traditional work and work by emerging scholars. We also know that many of our number work outside of academia, and welcome experience reports that summarize important technologies, techniques, methods, pedagogies, or product processes. We are also interested in proposals for guest editing special issues.

And if you have something that would be a good fit for Communication Design Quarterly, please review our article guidelines<http://sigdoc.acm.org/publication/communication-design-quarterly-review/> (sigdoc.acm.org/publication/communication-design-quarterly-review/) and direct inquiries or submissions to our Editor in Chief, Dr. Derek G. Ross, at derek.ross at auburn.edu<mailto:derek.ross at auburn.edu>.

Best,
