Blog Post 2: Research Topic/Issue with Tentative Sources

 Below are 10 tentative sources for my research. Sources 6 and 7 are unrelated to my research topic but their methods (content analysis) is similar to what I will be doing so those sources are useful in that regard. 80% of the sources are from technical writing journals.


Source 1: Emergent Feminist Technical Communication by Elizabeth A Flynn

Source 2: Towards a Feminist Historiography of Technical Communication by John F Flynn

Source 3: The critical eye, the gendered lens, and "situated" insights--feminist contributions to professional communication by Linda LaDuc and Amanda Goldrick-Jones

Source 4: A feminist perspective on technical communicative action: exploring how alternative worldviews affect environmental remediation efforts by Susan Mallon Ross

Source 5: Stigma in the Comments Section: A Feminist and Anti-Feminist Discussions Online by ADD AUTHOR

Source 6: Artifactual dimensions of visual rhetoric: What a content analysis of 114 peer-reviewed articles reveals about data collection reporting by Abigail Selzer King and Michael J McCarthy

Source 7: Key-notesL A Content Analysis of ATTW Conferences 1998-2018 by Heather Noel Turner

Source 8: 'From Fizzle to Sizzle!': Televised Sports News and the Production of Gender-Bland Sexism

    Hi Ellie! These sources look really great! I think they will be very helpful to you when you are writing your paper. I am excited to see how it turns out!

    I would say that some topics that are missing from this list are sources that are directly related to my research question. A lot of the sources that are in PTW research journals are vaguely related, but nothing super specific to my topic. All the sources are relevant so it is possible to complete my research, but I could benefit from some more non-PTW journal readings.

    Hi Ellie,

    Looks like you had a good start on your sources, so far. I know you'll be distilling more of your topic interest as you plow through and annotate the sources that you've found. At this point, I think the PTW-specific sources thrown into the mix (c/o source list on Canvas) will eventually direct your investigation more towards the lens of PTW. Remember that the sources in the Lit. Review do not need to be directly the same research focus as yours -- as you annotate them, you'll surely find the ones to keep. If you then noticed that nobody seems to have done the same research focus that you plan, that's the gap where you can come in and contribute to the field. :)

    After the Annotated Bib and/or Lit Review are done, maybe we can set a quick appointment to brainstorm ideas for your Research Proposal and make the research design more beneficial and applicable to practitioners/scholars within our field. (As always, feel free to set an appt. with me anytime if you need help).

    Best,

    Dr. B

Blog Post 3: Research Gap

 My research topic has a knowledge gap. Below is the paragraph from my literature review where I touch on this topic: Though this literature goes in depth about how language is manipulated, and then weaponized to discriminate against women, there is a knowledge gap. There is a lot of qualitative data out there about language, but not very much quantitative data. One way to create quantitative data from language analysis is a content analysis. There needs to be a content analysis on gender's impact on language. Specifically, the language in sports.

Blog Post #4

 I am currently working on implementing the revisions that were left on my literature review. I have a good idea of the work that I have to complete for my proposal. Recently I have been spending a majority of my time conducting my research (content analysis), but this will set me up nicely for the rest of the semester. I will meet with Dr. B on November 5th, so I will be able to look over my proposal with her then.
