Social justice and tech comm, Part 2: Doing social justice

Part 1 established how social justice is relevant to technical communication; Part 2 follows up with a parade of social-justice-oriented projects from technical communication scholars. We draw specifically from the edited collections Citizenship and Advocacy in Technical Communication by Agboka and Matveeva, and Equipping Technical Communicators for Social Justice Work by Walton and Agboka. In discussing the chapters, we touch on topics including the Hawai'i false missile alert, tarot cards for tech, ranked choice voting, and Benton's high-voltage senior design project. We hope you come away inspired by the ways people are enacting social justice in their research, teaching, and practice.
