Knowledge as a Feeling

Communication, a Different Kind of Horserace
Richard F. Carter was involved in the development of the communication field almost from the beginning. Most closely associated with the mass communication tradition, he has nevertheless become a source of theoretical and methodological illumination for scholars in widely disparate arenas. This book brings together 15 exemplar chapters illustrating the applications of Carter's work to specific avenues of scholarship, and 23 commentaries that focus on Carter's academic life in the context of the communication field's history. The volume includes a chronology of Carter's professional life and a bibliography of his works. It concludes with an original essay by Carter.

CHOICE 2015 Outstanding Academic TitleWhat do women academics classify as challenging, inequitable, or “hostile” work environments and experiences?

Intranets for Info Pros
The intranet is among the primary landscapes in which information-based work occurs, yet many info pros continue to view it with equal parts skepticism and dread. In Intranets for Info Pros, editors Mary Lee Kennedy and Jane Dysart and their 10 expert contributors provide support and encouragement to the information professional responsible for implementing or contributing to an intranet. Chapters demonstrate the intranet's strategic value, describe important trends and best practices, and equip info pros to make a key contribution to their organization's intranet success.
Fandom, Now in Color
Fandom, Now in Color gathers together seemingly contradictory narratives that intersect at the (in)visibility of race/ism in fandom and fan studies. This collection engages the problem by undertaking the different tactics of decolonization—diversifying methodologies, destabilizing canons of “must-read” scholarship by engaging with multiple disciplines, making whiteness visible but not the default against which all other kinds of racialization must compete, and decentering white fans even in those fandoms where they are the assumed majority. These new narratives concern themselves with a broad swath of media, from cosplay and comics to tabletop roleplay and video games, and fandoms from Jane the Virgin to Japan’s K-pop scene. Fandom, Now in Color asserts that no one answer or approach can sufficiently come to grips with the shifting categories of race, racism, and racial identity.
