The SUNY Series in Technical Communication seeks to publish work in all areas of Technical Communication, broadly defined. We invite work from all areas of professional and technical communication, including both academia and industry. We are particularly interested in projects that seek to expand definitions of technical and professional communication, define and explore points of tension, and amplify diversity and diverse viewpoints. We seek work that is not only methodologically rigorous, but might also question both methodology and rigor.

The Origins of the Art and Practice of Professional Writing: The Written Word as a Tool for Social Justice Then and Now, by Kathryn Rosser Raign, explores the origins of written communication to offer a counter-history to the separation of rhetoric/composition and technical/professional communication.

"Broadens not only our understanding of the origins of writing and communicating for technical purposes, but the significant role women played in this development as among the first professional writers. The study of the ancient Mesopotamian school for scribes is a way to understand one counter-history of writing centers and classrooms—and will help to erase the artificial barrier that has been erected between them." — Jennifer Phillips-Denny, Write Site, Texas Woman's University
