Abstract:

What should every department chair know about scholarship in technical communication? Probably a good deal more than I can tell you in this short paper, since many of you will probably be hiring faculty members for whom technical communication is a major area of interest. To evaluate the scholarly work of those people, you'll have to know something about the tradition within which they are working.
