Using digital media, the creators of these works of art construct autobiographical, educational, and interactive narratives about coping and belonging in the course of the crisis. I propose viewing both texts as examples of ‘resilient communication’ that reacts to social and cultural issues brought about by crisis and suggests creative solutions that convey optimistic views of the future. Outlining the conventions of resilient communication, in turn, promotes the production of media works that use educational, creative and autobiographical techniques to foster collective resilience.","PeriodicalId":47570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Communication Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82599791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study follows mainstream media discourses featured in The Straits Times to unearth the tensions, ruptures, and dialectics as the public health crisis developed. Specifically, I traced how media frames were constructed and reconstructed to convey escalating threats.

In the process, racialized threats of the mobile transnational citizen were discussed, informing us how the virus is manufactured, discussed, and circulated by the media.","PeriodicalId":47570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Communication Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84285420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that the practice of engaged scholarship is defined by tensions between role identity goals of scholar and practitioner; relational goals of expertise and partnership; and outcome goals of theory and practice. To manage these tensions, engaged scholars (1) discursively construct themselves in dual roles of academic-community member; (2) advocate for researcher reflexivity to manage power dynamics; and (3) privilege theory-practice integrative outcomes. Underlying these tactics, engaged scholars intimate moral and strategic arguments for the practice of engaged scholarship. We discuss the implications of these situated ideals for assessing ‘what counts’ as good scholarship among researchers working at the intersections of theory and practice.","PeriodicalId":47570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Communication Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87525792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In India, with its billion-plus population, it severely exposed the problems of the poor, especially millions of internal migrant workers working primarily in unorganised sectors as daily wagers (Umanath, 2020) with little or no culture of savings. When the Indian government announced its first lockdown on March 24, 2020 – factories, construction sites, offices, institutions, organisations and the sort immediately suspended all activities indefinitely, nullifying the migrant labour force’s ability to earn a living and pay bills as they were forced indoors. Then began India’s biggest migration since partition (Ellis-Petersen & Chaurasia, 2020), when millions of these migrant workers based in India’s big cities began their march home to distant villages.

Latent profile analysis of 1277 California undocumented, mostly Latina/o/x, college students identified four profiles. Frequent advocators had lower levels of self-rated health and higher levels of anxiety and depression than infrequent advocators. Media advocators reported higher levels of anxiety and depression than infrequent advocators. Finally, organizational advocators reported lower levels of anxiety than media advocators and frequent advocators.

This paper presents some of the costs to workers of implementing HRO theory. Without proper management, mindfulness can be exhausted when workers experience protective distortion. A phronetic iterative approach identified five consequences of protective distortion: compulsive hypervigilance, complexity avoidance, mental fatigue, jadedness, and a pathological assumption of responsibility. Contrary to unequivocal calls from HRO researchers for all organizations to implement these principles, organizational leaders should exercise mindfulness regarding how they implement mindfulness-promoting practices. We also identified four coping strategies employed by participants: avoiding, reframing, seeking professional therapy, and cathartic expressing. Those officers who were best able to avoid the costs identified above, were those who had means of testing their sensemaking through open communication with trusted others.","PeriodicalId":47570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Communication Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75963361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information circulating among the Kampung Laut community is a valuable resource that is used by some actors to gain profit even though it harms others. As fear, prejudice, and discrimination circulate in the community, the Kampung Laut community fight on the basis of a contextual and flexible multispecies ecological system to survive.
