STUDIES IN WRITING & RHETORIC SERIES


Transnational Assemblages Social Justice and Crisis Communication during Disaster


Sweta Baniya Foreword by Liza Potts Winner of a 2026 CCCC Advancement of Knowledge Award–Honorable Mention


This book recognizes local knowledge and marginalized perspectives during disasters to create opportunities for tackling social injustices in post-disaster situations. With grounded case studies of the 2015 Nepal earthquake and 2017 Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, Baniya showcases how locals in marginalized and colonized spaces overcome disaster-created complexities via coalitional and transnational engagements.


Ultimately, this project illustrates how technical communicators can perform transdisciplinary disaster management research to minimize the impacts of catastrophic disasters affecting the world’s most vulnerable populations.

The Hands of God at Work


Islamic Gender Justice through Translingual Praxis Amber Engelson


Drawing from ethnographic data collected in Indonesia from 2009 to 2022, this book explores how an English-medium Indonesian PhD program in interreligious studies and three Muslim scholar-activists activate knowledge where languages intersect. As writers negotiate translingually to make meaning at the borderlands where


seemingly discrete discourses intersect, they challenge false divides between rationality and spirituality; between the mind and body; between female agency and Islam; and between English and non- Western meaning-making.

Living English, Moving Literacies


Women's Stories of Learning between the US and Nepal Katie Silvester


This book is about women from either side of the resettlement process in the US and Nepal, learning to know, speak, laugh, and love together to navigate change, and using moving literacies that extend beyond the transparency of sentence-level word work to evoke, enact, and effect re-framings. The stories in this book aren’t just powerful; as the


world becomes smaller and instructors everywhere find themselves teaching students of increasingly diverse backgrounds, this book provides insight for teaching literacies across cultural landscapes.

Queer Techné


Bodies, Rhetorics, and Desire in the History of Computing Patricia Fancher


Diving deep into the Manchester University National Archive for the History of Computing’s files, Fancher offers an in-depth analysis of the technical and scientific writing of Alan Turing, often credited as an early inventor of computers. Then, recognizing


that no inventor works alone, the book places Turing’s work in context, first in the network of queer friends who collaborated with Turing, and then within a community of women whose labor forms the foundation of computing operations. This project argues for the importance of embodied experiences, gender, and sexuality as central lenses for understanding technical communication and technical innovation.
