Vincent Scalabrese is the godfather of the New England underworld. Seven years before, he had come to the aid of a young Boston lawyer, Rebecca Walton, who was about to triumph in her very first murder defense trial. It would change his life. Rebecca was the daughter he had always wished for—extremely bright, hard-working, adventurous, imaginative. They formed an immediate relationship that soon became almost that of a father-daughter. Now, Vincent is once more called to protect Rebecca, who is defending a young college student accused of the murder of a club singer.

Transnational Research in Technical Communication considers the complexities of intercultural projects from a compelling perspective: first-hand narrative reflections. Readers go behind the scenes as scholars share their experiences crossing a variety of borders in their efforts to engage in knowledge-making endeavors. Interwoven through each chapter are stories of how projects were designed, adapted, and sometimes even failed. The collection begins with an introduction situating it at the intersection of recent scholarship in storywork, intercultural research, and technical and professional communication’s social justice turn. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions and recommendations for further reading. The closing chapter reveals a nascent "ethic of transnational and intercultural research" growing out of contributors' lessons learned and generous reflections. Anyone interested in or planning to undertake a transnational or intercultural project can benefit from these storied case studies, and as a result, this collection contributes to moving the field forward as it strives to promote more ethically aware and responsive research.
