My Work
This introductory memo describes my work in the MTPC program at Auburn University. This memo discusses issues I identified in technical and professional communication as a discipline. These issues include the role of a technical communicator as a social justice practitioner, feminism, social justice, and issues of sexual assault and rape culture. I examine sexual violence and rape culture from a personal standpoint, as well as through the impact these phenomena have on society. This memo also provides a brief overview of the documents highlighted in my ePortfolio.
