    International Service Learning in Technical Communication during a Global Pandemic
    Baniya, Sweta; Brein, Ashley; Call, Kylie (2021-12-06)
    In this article, we explore the innovative practice of initiating global engagement by incorporating international service learning in an online TPC class to address the issue of the digital divide in the post-pandemic context. By presenting an analysis of 10 student interviews, 15 reflections, and two community member interviews, we reimagine the TPC programmatic future within the virtual classroom and rethink service learning in TPC by (a) presenting an example of serving the global community and (b) providing specific ways of creating a sustainable and meaningful partnership in post-pandemic classes.

    Representing Diversity in Digital Research: Digital Feminist Ethics and Resisting Dominant Normatives
    Baniya, Sweta; Hutchinson, Les; Kumari, Ashanka; Larson, Kyle; Lindgren, Chris A. (The WAC Clearinghouse, 2019)
    In this paper, the authors consider how their engaged practices of feminist ethics have come up against specific dominant normatives. Privileging the experiences of women of color, they question the embodied relationship they have with their research participants, and offer their methodological approaches for addressing ethical challenges that have surfaced through conducting their research in both digital and non-digital spaces and places. Collectively, they collaborate to develop newfound strategies and methodologies for negotiating the often mundane, micro-level moments of friction that prevents intersectional phronesis. Overall, they pitch ethical research practices for digital and non-digital research with diverse subjects of different races, backgrounds, and cultures such that voice(s) are not compromised during research.

    Rethinking Access: Recognizing Privileges and Positionalities in Building Community Literacy
    Baniya, Sweta (2023-03-23)
    This article rethinks digital access and community literacy by sharing aspects of intentional engagement informed by social justice frameworks to establish community partnerships that empower communities both local and global with digital literacy. The article explores access, privileges, and positionalities that the author strategically utilizes to support the communities within her current locality and in her hometown Nepal. By showcasing multiple intentional and equitable partnerships informed via social justice frameworks, the article argues that we require a transnational context to redefine digital literacy and our students need to understand these contexts better given the demands of the current workplace.

    Role of Translation in Disaster Response
    Baniya, Sweta; Potts, Liza (2024-01-29)
    In this article, we highlight and discuss in detail the role of translation transnational during and in response to a crisis. Translation practices and readiness are critical for multilingual and transnational communities to survive during and respond to disasters (Marlowe, 2020). The translation of information is crucial to the survival of the communities that are marginalized within their own countries due to their linguistic diversity. And yet, this is not an area often studied or considered, even though we understand its importance (O’Brien, 2019; Gonzales, 2018; Agboka, 2013). Hence, we present an analysis of the work of “knowledge workers” (Baniya & Potts, 2021) during the current Russia-Ukraine war to showcase how translation work happens at an intersection of digital platforms, multilingualism, and social justice.

    Transnational Assemblages in Disaster Response: Networked Communities, Technologies, and Coalitional Actions During Global Disasters
    Baniya, Sweta (Routledge, 2022-01-01)
    In this article, I argue that local disasters are a global concern and that various transnational assemblages emerge during a disaster that support the suffering communities and help in addressing the issues of social justice in post-disaster situations. The transnational assemblages that emerge on social media create innovative practices (via non-western and decolonial ways) of creating communities across the world via crisis communication and distributed work to address social injustices during the disaster.
