<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Libre Franklin";color:black">We will focus on considerations of social justice (e.g., equity, justice, inclusion, etc.) in the research, teaching, and practice of technical communication and professional
communication. <i>TCSJ</i> publishes articles—empirical research, pedagogical approaches, case studies, integrative literature reviews, workplace studies, etc.—that advance themes (1) exploring the systems and structures that legitimize and sustain injustice
and/or (2) redressing injustice and/or enacting social justice in spheres of technical communication work. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Libre Franklin";color:black">Scope and Purposes</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Libre Franklin";color:black">The journal encourages articles presenting sound arguments drawing from diverse theoretical, applied, and practical perspectives as applicable in technical and professional
communication and related disciplines such as rhetoric, composition, human-centered design, and user-experience. While the journal invites a broad range of subject matter and topics, published articles establish clear social justice connections, particularly
through how the subject matter inhibits or promotes social justice. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

theories, and research methodologies, race and ethnicities; gender, feminism, sexuality, and LGBTQIA+ issues; Indigenous studies, decolonialism, and postcolonialism; the Global South and/or the Global North; translation, localization, and globalization; disability
studies; environmental justice; advocacy and citizenship; plain language, and user experience. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
