Berrett-Koehler Publishers The Inclusive Language Field Guide: 6 Simple
Book SynopsisAvoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by ano-nonsenselinguistic anthropologist and business consultant.In today''s fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield.Terms around gender, disability, race,sexualityand more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you ?cancelled.? People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended.But it?s not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offerssixeasy-to-understand principles to guide any communication?written or spoken?with anyone:?Reflectreality?Showrespect?Draw peoplein?Incorporate otherperspectives?Preventerasure?Recognize painpointsThis guide clarifies the challenges?andthesolutions?tousing "they/them," and demonstrates why "you guys" isn''t as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you''ll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband?because she might be married to a woman. And you''ll avoid writing things like "America was discovered in 1492," because that''s just when Europeans found it.Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn''t inclusive language on their own.

Michigan State University Press On the Frontier of Science: An American Rhetoric
Book Synopsis“The frontier of science” is a metaphor that has become ubiquitous in American rhetoric, from its first appearance in the public address of early twentieth-century American intellectuals and politicians who aligned a mythic national identity with scientific research, to its more recent use in scientists’ arguments in favour of increased research funding. Here, Leah Ceccarelli explores what is selected and what is deflected when this metaphor is deployed, its effects on those who use it, and what rhetorical moves are made by those who try to counter its appeal. In her research, Ceccarelli discovers that “the frontier of science” evokes a scientist who is typically male, a risk taker, an adventurous loner—someone separated from a public that both envies and distrusts him, with a manifest destiny to penetrate the unknown. It conjures a competitive desire to claim the riches of a new territory before others can do the same. Closely reading the public address of scientists and politicians and the reception of their audiences, this book shows how the frontier of science metaphor constrains American speakers, helping to guide the ends of scientific research in particular ways and sometimes blocking scientists from attaining the very goals they set out to achieve.

Lexington Books Unquestioned Ease: Confronting Automaticity in
Book SynopsisThis book highlights hidden unintentional biases, emotional defense mechanisms, and responses in haste. By revealing these preconceived notions present in message choices, Xiaowei Shi and Steven Mortenson demonstrate techniques to help prevent communication from becoming problematic. In a conversational style, the authors extend their interdisciplinary theoretic perspectives by introducing concepts and practices of supportive confrontation and argumentative interaction management. Through examining those automatic responses and reactions in our everyday conversation with friends, coworkers, and loved ones, this book engages the readers to confront their own hidden preferences and underlying beliefs about gender, relationships, and themselves with a new eye. The book moves beyond prior work on rational choice model in strategic communication by considering actual human attributes. Shi and Mortenson offer new insights into communication “noises” and how to engage in communication during a difficult life event or on a difficult subject in a more skillful manner. Scholars of social psychology, interpersonal communication, and communication training and development will find this book of particular interest.

Book SynopsisReading is fundamental for higher education and scientific research, and it is primarily organized by academic libraries. Academic reading at the same time is characterized by specific requirements and benefits, which are addressed by available reading options, practices, and media. Although socialized literacies, routinized reading practices and established reading media are changing by digitization, consequences of these changes have been rarely analyzed for the academia. This interdisciplinary collection of papers therefore is asking what we actually know about academic reading competencies, reading practices and libraries in a quickly expanding digital academic environment.
