Review of Feminist Technical Communication: Apparent Feminisms, Slow Crisis, and the Deepwater Horizon Disaster

Abstract

In Feminist Technical Communication, Erin Clark applies a framework of apparent feminism to various crisis communications in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster (DHD). This book argues that traditional approaches to technical communication, particularly those focused on efficiency, are inadequate for responding to complex crises. Clark proposes feminist technical communication as a more ethical framework and, through the establishment of this methodology, amplifies feminist prominence in the field.
