Abstract

The authors present preliminary findings from a survey of editing instructors in order to better understand how editing pedagogies can and do promote social justice. The authors argue for integrating a social justice approach in technical editing beyond style choices by considering how editing models may be revised. A social justice perspective in technical editing includes the often overlapping areas of advocacy, intervention, and accessibility. Editorial frameworks must effectively incorporate these concerns in nuanced ways.
