As a colleague and I are at work on a collection about pathologized gender in health and medicine (check out the call for papers here), I’ve been paying special attention to issues of gender bias in medicine lately. This forthcoming book by Maya Dusenbery sounds like important work. It promises “an intersectional feminist analysis of the problem,” based on experiential evidence. Dusenbery says: “I’m hoping to highlight a diverse range of experiences that illustrate how gender and sex bias intersects with the many other biases of the medical system — racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, fat phobia, etc.”

My research areas are defined by the intersection of feminisms and technical communication. Feminist Technical Communication explores just that intersection and many of the sites of confluence—healthcare, risk, environmental rhetorics—for these two disciplines. This book builds upon my 2013 dissertation “Theorizing an Apparent Feminism in Technical Communication,” which won the Conference on College Composition and Communication Outstanding Dissertation Award in Technical Communication. My work has appeared in Computers and Composition, Journal of Business and Technical Communication, Technical Communication Quarterly, Programmatic Perspectives, and Peitho: Journal of the Coalition of Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric & Composition. (My older publications can be found under the surname Frost.) The same theoretical commitments that inform my research also guide my teaching; I hope my students describe me as fair, collaborative, curious, and open-minded.
