    Book SynopsisThis book tackles the philosophical challenge of bridging the gap between empirical research into communication and information technology, and normative questions of justice and how we ought to communicate with each other. It brings the question of what justice demands of communication to the center of social science research. Max Hänska undertakes expansive philosophical analysis to locate the proper place of normativity in social science research, a looming subject in light of the sweeping roles of information technologies in our social world today. The book's first section examines metatheoretical issues to provide a framework for normative analysis, while the second applies this framework to three technological epochs: broadcast communication, the Internet and networked communications, and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies into our communication systems. Hänska goes beyond the prevailing frameworks in the fieldTrade Review"Max Hänska has written a splendid book on an important and timely topic. The book provides a comprehensive study of normative aspects of communication and most valuable guidance for the systematic analyses of normative claims in communication theory. It is conceptually compelling, rich in examples and highly original in the analyses of the impact of communication technologies on social relationships, politics and culture." —Mats Ekström, Professor of Media and Communication, University of Gothenburg"In an era in which dependence on information and communication technologies has reached new heights and the dangers they pose to our social fabric and personal well-being are so pronounced, Max Hänska makes an invaluable contribution to the much-needed conversation on the normative choices we face when we put them to use. Communication Against Domination is a thorough, broad, insightful and accessible read designed for both scholars and advanced students. It tackles head-on the moral dilemmas contemporary media technologies bring about and proposes a well-argued theoretical approach to engage with them." — Amit Schejter, Professor of Communication Studies at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Co-Director of the Institute for Information Policy at Penn State University"Mitigating the harms linked to today’s complex communication systems puts normative evaluation at the core of policy making in increasingly visible ways. Max Hänska provides us with an engaged philosophically-grounded account of how to differentiate between good and bad technology and societal outcomes. What principles should underpin efforts to achieve communication systems that are free from domination? How can procedural justice inform the design and governance of artificial intelligence-enabled systems? Hänska’s Communication Against Domination addresses these questions in a very thought-provoking way. The book should be required reading for anyone engaged in deliberation about what ought to underpin our normative positions and choices." — Robin Mansell, Professor of New Media and the Internet, London School of Economics and Political Science"Communication Against Domination offers a rich framework for analysing the normative underpinnings of communication in contemporary society. It proposes that freedom as non-domination can provide a suitable goal for communication, and for empirical and theoretical communication analysis. In his sharp and thorough reasoning Max Hänska lays out how traditional media, the Internet and Artificial Intelligence challenge and transform the normative foundations of communication. The book is fascinating in its profound understanding of social and communication theory and a must read, particularly for students pursuing empirical communication research." —Barbara Pfetsch, Professor of Communication Studies, Communication Theory and Media Effects, Freie Universität Berlin, and Managing Director, Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society – The German Internet Institute"This volume provides a clear and sustained intervention into ongoing public and scholarly conversations about the normative implications of contemporary media environments. Departing from a historically and philosophically grounded analysis of different communication technologies, Max Hänska contributes an agenda of non-domination for further research and debate." — Klaus Bruhn Jensen, Professor, University of Copenhagen"Max Hänska has written a splendid book on an important and timely topic.

    Book SynopsisThis book introduces Critical Language Awareness (CLA) Pedagogy as a robust and research-grounded framework to engage and support students in critical examinations of language, identity, privilege and power.Starting with an accessible introduction to CLA, chapters cover key topicsincluding World Englishes, linguistic prejudice, news media literacy, inclusive language practices, and morein an inviting and thought-provoking way to promote reflection and analysis. Part I provides an overview of the foundations of CLA pedagogy, while Part II highlights four instructional pathways for CLA pedagogy: Sociolinguistics, Critical Academic Literacies, Media/Discourse Analysis, and Communicating Across Difference. Each pathways chapter is structured around Essential Questions and Transferrable Skills, and includes three thematic learning sequences. Part III offers tools and guidance for tailoring CLA pedagogy to the reader's own teaching context and to students' individual needs. Trade Review"Shapiro successfully explodes the false binary between pragmatism and progressivism by reminding us that teaching writing is not an either/or proposition. And after our many years of theorizing the teaching of writing, Shapiro offers a persuasive synthesis of theory and practice that shows us how to integrate pragmatism and progressivism into our curricula and instruction. In so doing, she provides teachers with a toolkit to promote self-reflection, social justice and rhetorical agency that empowers all writing students to learn how language shapes them and how they in turn can shape language."--Juan C. Guerra, Professor Emeritus, University of Washington at Seattle, USA"If you are teaching student writers today—especially if you care about teaching ALL student writers today—then this a book for you. Shapiro’s deeply researched and engaging text reviews the history of critical language awareness, examines its current principles and practices, and shows just how writing teachers everywhere can employ such principles and practices to create classrooms and pedagogies where linguistic justice and equity can and will thrive."--Andrea Lunsford, Professor Emerita, Stanford University, USA"This book offers an outstanding roadmap for building inclusive ESOL and English language arts classrooms where students learn to be critical and agentive consumers and producers of standardized written language. The book delivers a strong conceptual framework and principles for a CLA approach combined with abundant illustrations and resources for implementing the approach. A great resource for teachers."--Linda Harklau, Professor, University of Georgia, USA"Shapiro’s (2022) newly published book is a great addition and response to the long-standing debate over the political and social struggle concerning what constitutes ‘correct’ standardized and conventionalized language…. All in all, [the book] is a timely contribution in today’s contentious intellectual environment where identities, linguistic oppression, and epistemological racism are present in so-called ‘democratic’ education. [It] is indeed a critical addition to the field of second language writing (L2) in general and literacy education studies, as it encourages teachers to be active agents of social transformation and justice through education. Unequivocally, Shapiro’s work adds a diverse perspective to the application of CLA with a set of epistemological, practical, and pedagogical innovations. At the same time, she cleverly allowed teacher agency to blossom as she offered possibilities for adapting some activities that tap into students’ cultural and social resources"--Journal of English for Academic Purposes"The book…considered to be one of the most current books in the field of L2 writing. After reading this book, I felt it was a breath of fresh air to have an opportunity to focus on critical language awareness as it has solidified my approaches to L2 writing research and the teaching of multilingual students….Shapiro’s writing style in this book is entertaining and engaging in that the author has adopted a combination of personalized and jargon free writing Shapiro’s writing style in this book is entertaining and engaging…[M]any L2 writing scholars, practitioners, and graduate students who are interested in making classrooms more inclusive will find this book extremely valuable. For L2 writing research scholars, they will find this book full of resources that they can incorporate as tasks for participants in their next research projects with multilingual and multidialectal students. For practitioners, the second section of the book will be extremely useful in helping them (re)design writing assignments and integrate inclusive practices in their classrooms….For scholars in the EFL settings, I believe the book will be valuable to generate discussions around language awareness and the status of the English language in relation to other languages in different communities. Lastly, this book is also appropriate for those who are in rhetoric and composition studies."--Bee Chamcharatsri, Journal of Second Language Writing, Vol 58, 2022Table of ContentsPart I: Section I: Foundations of CLA Pedagogy 1.
