Negotiating International and Cross-Cultural Technical Communication – Call for Contributors

We received the following request from the STC’s International Technical Communication SIG.

Han Yu, Assistant Professor, English Department, Kansas State University, and Gerald Savage, Professor, English Department, Illinois State University, are looking for interesting stories from technical communicators to publish in “Negotiating International and Cross-Cultural Technical Communication: Stories of Technical Communicators”.

Summary

We request story proposals of 300 words for an upcoming collection Negotiating International and Cross-Cultural Technical Communication: Stories of Technical Communicators. This collection is designed for technical communicators to tell their stories working in international and cross-cultural contexts, working for/with clients/colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds, or writing/designing for audience from diverse cultural backgrounds. We hope this collection will be a venue for contributors to share their experiences and lessons-learned, to inform and educate fellow practitioners, and to demonstrate their value-add to employers and clients. Submissions that meet the scope of the collection will be followed up for full-length stories.

For more information on this and how to submit a proposal, read the full request on the ITC SIG website.
