Beyond communication - research as communicating: making user and audience studies matter - paper 2 by Brenda Dervin, CarrieLynn Reinhard, Fei C. Shen

“…Some serious and fundamental attacks; (3) a call to focus on the special problematics of the social sciences: agency, structure, power and the good; (4) eschewing scientific recipes and scholarly creeds and bringing back the joys of adventuring and muddling; (5) the paradox of communicatingfreedom is another word for nothing left to lose. <br><b>Conclusion.</b> We argue for shared dialogue in communicating across the three fields studied here: this will introduce uncertainty, but, rather than relying upon 'authority', the individual will be encouraged through the exploration of that uncertainty, to make their own sense of the offerings of others.…”
