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} } @article{of sound, bodies, and immersive experience _2022, url={https://www.enculturation.net/Sound_Bodies_ImmersiveExperience}, journal={enculturation: a journal of rhetoric, writing, and culture}, year={2022}, month={May} } @article{scheper_rosenfeld_dubljević_2022, title={The public impact of academic and print media portrayals of TMS: shining a spotlight on discrepancies in the literature}, volume={23}, ISSN={1472-6939}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12910-022-00760-5}, DOI={10.1186/s12910-022-00760-5}, abstractNote={Abstract}, 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} } @misc{gallagher_nelson_rosenfeld_friedman_2021, title={"Fill Up the Jails": Creative Protest and the Virtual Martin Luther King Project}, url={https://edsitement.neh.gov/media-resources/fill-jails-creative-protest-and-virtual-martin-luther-king-project}, journal={EDSITEment: The Best of the Humanities on the Web}, publisher={National Endowment for the Humanities}, author={Gallagher, V.J. and Nelson, E. and Rosenfeld, C. and Friedman, M.}, year={2021} } @inbook{bowers of persuasion: toward a posthuman visual rhetoric_2021, booktitle={Posthumanist perspectives on literary and cultural animals}, year={2021} } @article{rosenfeld_2021, title={Do you hear the people sign?: A critical discourse analysis of comments on a 2015 online petition opposing North Carolina’s ag-gag law}, volume={49}, ISSN={0090-9882 1479-5752}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00909882.2021.1965185}, DOI={10.1080/00909882.2021.1965185}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT This study analyzes the discourse of consumer-citizens who oppose ag-gag legislation, specifically North Carolina’s House Bill 405 (HB405), and considers how cyber activism (e.g. signing an online petition) offers insight into consumer-citizens’ perspectives. 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} } @book{mann_vandegrift_rosenfeld_2021, title={Immersive Scholar: A Guidebook for Documenting and Publishing Experiential Scholarship Works}, ISBN={9781469664286}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.5149/9781469664286_mann}, DOI={10.5149/9781469664286_Mann}, abstractNote={"Immersive Scholar: A Guidebook for Documenting and Publishing Experiential Scholarship Works" offers a model for librarians, technologists, and scholars collaborating on the production of new forms of scholarly projects, particularly those designed for large scale or immersive spaces.

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.

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.

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} } @misc{rosenfeld_2020, title={Book Review: Virtual Menageries: Animals as Mediators in Network Culture}, volume={17}, number={5}, journal={Journal for Critical Animal Studies}, author={Rosenfeld, C.P.}, year={2020}, pages={69–72} } @article{craig_nieforth_rosenfeld_2020, title={Communicating Resilience among Adolescents with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) through Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)}, volume={84}, ISSN={1057-0314 1745-1027}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10570314.2020.1754451}, DOI={10.1080/10570314.2020.1754451}, abstractNote={This qualitative study explored communicative processes of resilience in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) among young women with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
