Biography
Ehren Helmut Pflugfelder is Assistant Professor of Professional, Technical, and Scientific Writing in the School of Writing, Literature, and Film at Oregon State University, USA.
"Technical communicators, engineers, and designers in the automotive industry, as well as researchers with expertise and interest in actor-network theory (ANT), will find Communicating Mobility and Technology: A Material Rhetoric for Persuasive Transportation a valuable book. [It] offers a unique contribution to scholarly work on professional communication in the transportation industry." --Aiee Kendall Roundtree, IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, 60(1), 2017
"What Pflugfelder’s book reveals is that when we think about whether transportation technologies are persuasive, we create the possibility for intervention." --Kathleen F. Oswald, Villanova University, Transfers: Interdisciplinary Journal of Mobility Studies 8, No. 1 (2018)
"Communicating Mobility and Technology: A Material Rhetoric for Persuasive Transportation is a unique contribution to studies in both technical communication and automobility and should be of interest to anyone working in industrial rhetoric,mobility technologies, automotive transportation projects, or the history of rhetorical language." -- Mark W. Shealy, Texas Tech University, Rhetoric Society Quarterly
"The text will be of particular interest to scholars and practitioners who work within and around large systems and ecologies similar to automobility, including fields and sites like disaster communication, public transportation systems, government agencies, environmental rhetorics, and logistics planning." -- Daniel L. Hocutt, Universtiy of Richmond, Communication Design Quarterly
