STC 4 Lakes Chapter Meeting – November 2009 (UPDATED)
LET BREAKING NEWS: The meeting will still go on, but our presenter is unable to attend. We’ll meet anyway to discuss the future of the chapter, network, and enjoy a good lunch.
Join us on Friday, November 20th for another STC 4 Lakes chapter meeting.
In this presentation, Dave will discuss contemporary research by technical communication practitioners and academics. His focus will be primarily on the social, cultural, and empirical studies and findings related to the new kinds of “digital literacy” that are increasingly expected of all technical communicators. Topics will include but not be limited to content management, social networking, and theoretical and methodological approaches.
About our speaker

Dave’s research and teaching focus is on the rhetoric of science, technology, and management; knowledge management, information design, and single sourcing; the ethics of qualitative research; and community engagement. He is working now on a book project that aims to bridge activity theory and the practice of information design in small organizations. Dave has worked in industry for six years as a technical writer, web consultant and developer, and writer/researcher; some web sites he has designed and maintained have been for the Society for Technical Communication (STC), ATTW, and nonprofits in the Milwaukee area.
