This book addresses queer issues and current events from a communication perspective to articulate a queer communication pedagogy. Through putting communication pedagogy and queer studies into dialogue, the book investigates how queer theory and critical communication pedagogy intersect in pedagogical spaces. The chapters identify institutional and educational barriers, oppressions, and issues pertaining to queer lives in the context of higher education. Using a variety of critical methodological approaches (including dialogic methods, autoethnography, performative writing, and visual methods), each chapter theorizes a queer communication pedagogy, and offers a path toward and innovative ideas about materializing queer communication pedagogy as a disciplinary endeavor. This book will be of interest to scholars, graduate students, and upper-level undergraduate students in Communication Studies, Critical Communication Pedagogy, Intercultural Communication, Higher Education, Public Pedagogy, and Queer Studies, and Critical/Cultural Studies.

Through the theorization of leadership from various communicative perspectives, this book offers a comprehensive, multi-perspectival framework and actionable insights for building responsible, relational, and inclusive leadership practices.This book presents three distinct perspectives on how sub-disciplines in communication studies understand, utilize, and theorize the intersections between communication and leadership: (1) diversity, equity, inclusion, and access (DEIA), intercultural, and critical cultural approaches; (2) relational, discursive, and collective approaches; and (3) pedagogical and training approaches. Contributors showcase how communication theory assists in building more responsible, relational, dialogical, ethical, and meaningful leadership practices, using applied cases, scenarios, and leader profiles to demonstrate theoretical approaches in practical contexts. Each chapter features suggested further readings and questions to spark continued engagement with the issues presented.This text is suited to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in leadership communication, organizational communication, and leadership studies within communication studies, business, psychology, higher education and administration, and military leadership programs.
