Handbook of Instructional Communication

Marian L. Houser (Ph.D., 2002, University of Tennessee-Knoxville) is a Professor in the Communication Studies Department at Texas State University. Her research focus is instructional communication and the student-teacher relationship in various contexts that include organizations, training, health campaigns, and interpersonal relationships. Dr. Houser was the recipient of the Texas State Presidential Award for Research and recently named an Eastern Communication Association Research Fellow (2016). Angela M. Hosek (Ph.D., 2011, University of Nebraska, Lincoln) is an Assistant Professor and Basic Course Director in the School of Communication Studies at Ohio University. Her published research focuses on student-teacher relationships, social identity, privacy and discourse, social media and student success in the instructional context.

I was heartened to see that the revised Handbook of Instructional Communication softens the boundaries of what constitutes instructional communication research, integrates a variety of constructs and perspectives, relies on respected prolific authors, and effectively incorporates theory, research, and practice. The editors, Hosek and Houser, are to be commended on this effort to highlight the best of our instructional communication scholarship. - Cheri Simonds, Illinois State University, USA
