The conventional topics of presidential addresses – variations on the grand themes of communication theory, method or structure – were considered weighty and worthy of these occasions. But feminism? At best, surely this was a minority interest, with no claim to be awarded the gravitas naturally accorded to the canonical issues of communication. It was precisely this assumption that Dervin set out to question in her presidential lecture.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderFeminist scholarshipgender ethicscommunication mediaCultural ethicsCommunity ethicsMedia/communication/information ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderArticle
