technical and professional communication instructors who are committed to
social justice in their teaching describe their work, and how they define key
terms related to this work. This preliminary survey will help with
language-setting on my dissertation, which begins this fall. Language-setting,
according to the Creative Reaction Lab, is a "crucial foundation to
dismantling systemic oppression and designing equity," and survey results
will help with framing recruitment and initial discussions in the fall.</span></p>
