This timely and accessible edited collection explores how technical communicators meet the challenges of enacting effective risk and crisis communication policies to address local and global environmental problems.
Through a series of practical studies, this collection calls for improved technical and environmental communication for the public through an embodied, situated understanding of risk. The chapters highlight the cycle of content creation, dissemination, public response and decision making, while considering issues of accessibility, pedagogy, and social justice. This volume also offers a diverse look at methodological practices for students, researchers, and practitioners looking to address embodied aspects of crisis and risk both locally and globally that incorporate UX, storytelling, and dynamic text.
This collection provides accessible readings for use in undergraduate or graduate courses in technical communication, risk assessment and communication, and environmental communication, and will also be of interest to scholars in these areas.
