"Featuring specially commissioned chapters from scholars and practitioners across the field, this handbook serves as a touchstone for those who wish to do ethical technical and professional communication in its myriad forms. Offering an overview of what "ethics" in technical and professional communication looks like, what "being ethical" entails, and what it means to "do ethical work," this handbook is divided into five interrelated parts: Why Ethics?; Foundations: What Are Ethics, and How Do They Fit Into Technical and Professional Communication?; Local Application: What Does "Being Ethical" Mean to the Individual?; Institutional Application: What Does "Being Ethical" Mean at the Institutional Level?; and The Future of Ethics in Technical Communication: What Happens Next? The first of its kind, this accessibly written handbook explores descriptive, normative, applied, and meta-ethics. It will be an indispensable resource for researchers and students in the fields of Technical and Professional Communication, Writing Studies, Rhetoric and Design"-- Provided by publisher.
