Growing the Body of Research on Technical Communication Workplaces and Practices: Recommendations for the Field

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Technical communication (TC) workplaces and practices are continually changing. To understand how these shifts impact curriculum and pedagogy, the field needs practice-focused empirical research. But the field has struggled of late to overcome persistent barriers to conducting such research. Drawing on prior approaches and interviews, this article explores how our professional organizations, as well as individual researchers and practitioners, can better cultivate and support empirical research projects that examine TC workplaces and practices.
