Her poems evoke environmental awareness disarticulated from information-deficit models of ecological behavior and remain attuned to modes of thinking-with, thinking-for, and dissenting-within human-nonhuman relationships.}, journal={Western Journal of Communication}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Zagacki, Kenneth and Rosenfeld, Cynthia}, year={2023}, month={Mar}, pages={1–20} }

TMS has gained popular media support, but media coverage and commercial reporting of TMS services may be contributing to the landscape of ethical issues.We explore the differences between the academic and print media literature portrayals of TMS to evaluate their ethical impact for the public. We performed a comprehensive literature review using PubMed and NexisUni databases to evaluate the literature available on TMS from 2014 to 2019. Our sample consisted of 1632 academic articles and 468 print media articles for a total of 2100 articles. We then coded each article for seven specific top-level codes: (1) type of source, (2) year of publication, (3) purpose of TMS application, (4) age of subjects, (5) population, (6) overall tone, and (7) specification of TMS parameters. We also made some additional notes of the TMS parameters where specified and the breakdown of mental health applications.Our results indicated several discrepancies between the academic and the print media reporting about TMS technology, particularly with regards to tone and specificity. Namely, the academic sample was largely neutral and specific about the parameters under which TMS was being applied, while the print media sample was heavily optimistic and presented the application of TMS with far less specificity. There was some convergence between the two samples, such as the focus of both on therapy as the predominant TMS application.We call upon the academic community to increase scrutiny of TMS services in order to ensure that people's knowledge of health technologies is not unduly influenced by sensational claims and a general lack of adequate information.}, number={1}, journal={BMC Medical Ethics}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Scheper, Abigail and Rosenfeld, Cynthia and Dubljević, Veljko}, year={2022}, month={Mar} }

It situates HB405 and the bill’s opposition within the larger context of concentrated animal feeding operations, the global trade of meat, undercover animal activist investigations, and state legislation affecting undercover investigations. Critical discourse analysis of the 8000 comments signers added to a Change.org petition opposing HB405 revealed three general themes: (1) application of the logic of post 9/11 citizen surveillance to their opposition to ag-gag, (2) description of a moral right to know about the practices of industrial animal agriculture, and (3) an understanding of how the effects of HB405 transcended the boundaries of the state that sought to adopt the legislation. These findings have implications for both research on cyber activism and strategies for advocacy efforts.}, number={5}, journal={Journal of Applied Communication Research}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Rosenfeld, Cynthia}, year={2021}, month={Aug}, pages={515–531} }

Mellon Foundation, the case studies and principles laid out in this guidebook highlight pragmatic and non-technical opportunities for integrating experiential scholarship within the current scholarly ecosystem. Borrowing from the literature and ideas of digital humanities, open science, software preservation, and academic publishing, the authors present a perspective balanced between theory and application.

Representations of snakes abound in literature, oral traditions, and visual arts. Often constructed as sneaky or sinister, the cultural evaluation of snakes can perhaps best be stated by the adage, “The only good snake is a dead snake.” Such messages become the “stories we live by.” This evaluation is widespread but not universal. Educators are agents of alternative stories that exist in struggle with dominant ones. This study used ethnographic methods to explore how the setting, audience, storytelling educators, and story told all shape the conceptualization of “snake.” The setting may resist or perpetuate a negative cultural evaluation of snakes. Presuppositions, convictions, and available examples of modeling influence whether audience members choose to adopt a new story or retain the old one. Through their discourse, enactments, and material displays, educators offer an embodied, sensorial story with the central message, “The only good snake is a live snake.”}, number={4}, journal={Society & Animals}, publisher={Brill}, author={Rosenfeld, Cynthia}, year={2021}, month={Sep}, pages={1–18} }

In 2015, we generated 34.5 million tons of municipal solid plastic waste (EPA, “National Overview”), and it is only a part of our waste. Ironically, plastic containers, from household cans to plastic liners to the large green curbside bins, held that solid waste at one time—and were soon to be their own contribution to the 3.4 million tons. The banality, opacity, and capacity of our waste bins facilitate consumer culture. Reflective design, however, can help us query our trash practices by defamiliarizing the trashcan through making its attributes and properties visible and explorable. “Talking Trash” is an act of reflective design in which I wove a waste bin from the environmental articles of various magazines. Next, I set up a Twitter account, @Talking_Trash_, to tweet about items I was placing in the bin. Then, I considered the pedagogical value of Talking Trash and similar reflective design projects in environment humanities classes. Ultimately, I argue that our trashcans engage in a rhetoric of the everyday that encourages consumer practice and waste-world-making. Talking Trash provides insight into the public and private natures of waste, the revealing and concealing our bins promote, and the affordances of materiality present in our waste bins. Talking Trash is an intervention of hope.}, number={24}, journal={Hyperrhiz: New Media Cultures}, publisher={Electric}, author={Rosenfeld, Cynthia P.}, year={2021}, month={Dec} }

In “The Zygon Inversion,” Doctor Who offers an imperfect peace myth that saves two species from war. To illuminate this myth, this essay first discusses the significance of memory and myth for national and cultural identity and situates Doctor Who in a sociopolitical context. Next, I show how the Doctor’s myth (1) reconceptualizes the metaphor of wargames from a game of strategy to one of luck, (2) invites a de-escalation of conflict through the Doctor’s enargeic rendering of his own, pained guilt, and (3) remains problematically partial as peace is achieved through a retention of the status quo at the cost of Zygon ways-of-life. Finally, I discuss how Doctor Who contributes to theorizing peace myths.}, number={1}, journal={Communication Quarterly}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Rosenfeld, Cynthia}, year={2021}, month={Dec}, pages={42–62} }
