<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If you are located in or near central Ohio, please consider attending the annual Corbett Lecture on the Columbus campus of the Ohio State University. Professor Natasha N. Jones (University of Central Florida)
will deliver a lecture titled “If Knowledge Is Power: Privilege and Knowledge Legitimization” on Tuesday, April 16 at 4:00 p.m. in 311 Denney Hall. The following abstract offers a preview of what promises to be an important and engaging talk:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This talk will explore some of the ways that privilege manifests in our daily experience, with a specific focus on knowledge legitimization and how experiential, qualitative methods
(like narrative inquiry) can help encourage a more inclusive vision of technical and professional communication. Interrogating privilege as layered, dynamic, and inherently connected to the concepts of positionality and power is important for social justice
and coalition building. A technical communication perspective that centers on inclusion (and an understanding of the human impact of our work, scholarship, and pedagogy) facilitates action and redresses inequities. Acknowledging privilege helps us to examine
how ideas about normativity are embedded in racist and oppressive thoughts and practices and to identify how some individuals and groups of individuals are pushed to the margins of society. Privilege, or who is valued in a society, illustrates who can perceive
the wholeness of how oppression functions in our academic disciplines. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
