Sharpening the Focus: A Workshop on Ethics and Technical Communication

摘要

Increasingly, technical communicators are confronting ethical issues in the workplace. Conflicts arise that appear to defy black-and-white solutions. To render every verdict as "gray," however, begs the question. This workshop exposes participants to the use of value analysis to clarify ethical conflicts in technical communication. It also gives them the opportunity to explore ethical issues "hands-on" through small-group discussions and a series of role-playing vignettes on selected conflict scenarios.
