Preconference: Remembering, Regulating, and Resilience: Investigating the Communicative Accomplishment of Safety and Reliability Organizing

Thu, June 9, 9:00 to 17:00, Fukuoka Hilton, Rigel

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

Safety and the organizational systems that constitute it are increasingly at the center of important public discussions. The regulation of complex industrial systems such as nuclear power plants, organizational responses to crisis including active shooter incidents, environmental protection and resource management in oil and gas exploration, safety and error in healthcare organizations offer just a few relevant examples. Communication scholarship is distinctively well-poised to contribute to our understanding of the organizational systems implicated in such settings. This preconference will bring together communication scholars interested in the communicative accomplishment of safety, reliability, and resilience. Highly interactive sessions will integrate rich presentations from scholars in these domains and dialogue among participants. The conference will culminate in a research agenda that underscores the power of communication to promote and protect the health and resilience of individuals and organizations.
