[ATTW-L] Announcing TCSJ Vol. 2 No. 1 (2024): Spring Issue (Early Release), Featuring Dr. Halcyon Lawrence

[Erin Trauth]

Dear Colleagues:

We are pleased to announce that *Technical Communication and Social Justice
(TCSJ)* has published a tribute to Dr. Halcyon Lawrence, as well as an
early access version of her article, "Technical and Professional
Communicators as Advocates of Linguistic Justice in the Design of Speech
Technologies," in the forthcoming Vol. 2, Issue 1.

The early access version of the issue can be found at this link:
https://techcommsocialjustice.org/index.php/tcsj/issue/view/3

In the tribute to Dr. Halcyon Lawrence, Drs. Laura Gonzales and Suban Nur
Cooley write: "Dr. Lawrence led, and will continue to lead, the field of
technical communication in establishing accessible, justice-driven
practices. Dr. Lawrence always demonstrated the importance of taking action
when it comes to linguistic inequities, not just in research, but in how we
as researchers and teachers engage with each other, with our students, and
with our communities. We dedicate the issue in her honor, and we hope
others in our field join us in honoring Dr. Lawrence by taking action to
redress linguistic injustice in and beyond technical communication.  Thank
you, Dr. Lawrence, for sharing your brilliance with us all, and for always
pushing us to envision and advocate for a more socially just world that
recognizes language diversity in direct connection to racial justice,
technological innovation, humane teaching, community building, and more. We
will miss and remember you always."

The rest of the issue, which constitutes the second half of the special
issue that began in Vol. 1, Issue 1, will be available in January 2024.

We hope you enjoy this issue and that you might also share it with your
professional networks. Thank you!

All the best,
Erin Trauth, Ph.D.
Assistant Editor, *TCSJ*
