Luc\u00eda Dur\u00e1 : positive deviance<\/a><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. When solving complex problems, are we only focusing on the aggregate\u2014the middle of the bell curve? Outliers are small in number and generally overlooked. Sometimes we turn to negative outliers for problem-solving such as Covid clusters. But positive outliers may help us understand underlying factors and practices leading to favorable outcomes.<\/u><\/u><\/li>\n
  2. As rhetoricians, professional, and technical communicators, can we use positive deviance questions and processes to facilitate conversations that engage both evidence-based practices and practice-based evidence, i.e., helping experts see the value of local knowledge?<\/u><\/u><\/li>\n
  3. Do we embrace the above perspectives in our teaching and mentoring practices?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Kenny Fountain: embodiment<\/a><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. What do we, as researchers and teachers of RHM, mean when we say \u201cembodiment\u201d?<\/li>\n
    2. What theories, philosophies, and\/or frameworks do we (personally) use in RHM to conceptualize (human) embodiment? And what draws us to those ideas?<\/li>\n
    3. If the condition of being or having a body makes possible or underlies nearly all aspects of human experience, how do we make embodiment tangible in our RHM research and our RHM teaching?<\/li>\n
    4. As researchers and teachers of RHM, how do we take seriously and appreciate enactments of embodiment that are non-normative, or atypical, or ones just different from our own?<\/li>\n
    5. Thinking about the RHM research that we do or that we love most, what role does embodiment play? Is embodiment, in that research, an object of analysis (that is, a phenomenon under study) or primarily a background condition or state of being that shapes the object of?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Catherine Gouge: theory<\/a><\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. What’s your favorite (not necessarily most useful) theory and why?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Can you have theories without practices? Practices without theories? Think about what each might look like. What would it take to prevent practice from informing theory and vice versa?\u00a0Would one (theory without practice, practice without theory) be better or worse than the other? How so?
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. In an ideal (ethical, just, efficient, abundant) world, how might\u00a0practice inform theory and vice versa?
        \n<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. In a total hellscape (e.g., 2020 or worse), how might\u00a0practice inform theory and vice versa?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Scott Graham: \u00a0data<\/a><\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. \u00a0What counts as data for rhetoric of health and medicine?<\/li>\n
        2. How do our inquiry practices create\/construct\/constitute data?<\/li>\n
        3. What are our data stases? What do our data construction\/invocation practices say about our approach to fact, value, definition, and jurisdiction?<\/li>\n
        4. What new forms of data or new approaches to constructing data might help us better disrupt unjust ideologies and systems?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Katie Swacha: community<\/a><\/h3>\n
            \n
          1. Amplification<\/b>: How can we amplify and support the crucial rhetorical work already happening at a community-based level <\/span>with<\/span><\/i> (rather than <\/span>for<\/span><\/i>) communities, particularly those that are vulnerable and marginalized?<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Mobilization<\/b>: How can we achieve a more \u2018rapid\u2019 form of community engagement, when necessary, without losing our commitments to reciprocity, dialogue, community-based expertise, relationship-building, and scholarly rigor (which tend to happen more slowly)? How could we develop more coordinated community outreach across RHM while continuing to value and recognize localized knowledge and needs?<\/span><\/li>\n
          3. Generosity<\/b>: How can we invite more community leaders and members, and their various forms of expertise, into our conversations, our scholarship, our teaching, and our programs\u2014AND <\/span>enact <\/span><\/i>this invitation generously?<\/span><\/li>\n
          4. Ethics<\/b>: How can our ethical praxis extend into each and every moment (even the smaller, briefer, easy to miss moments) in which we interact with(in) communities, especially as we engage sensitive health topics, vulnerable populations, and high-stakes (though often invisible) structures of power?<\/span><\/li>\n
          5. Identity<\/b>: How can we understand our ever-emerging \u2018identity story\u2019 as a field in terms of how it aligns with, includes, complements, and\/or can disregard the stories of the communities in which we live and work?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
