“…We invite teacher–scholars to keep this ethical dilemma in mind as we continue these important lines of research and pedagogical innovations, but we hope that our interview results offer a useful starting place. Research in this area answers Condit’s (2013) call to achieve a more international focus in our research on health and medical rhetoric. At the same time, though, as technical communication scholars, we are uniquely positioned to make important new contributions to the knowledge base that has developed through decades of research on the NNES author’s situation, much of which has been generated by scholars in linguistics and related fields, but not in technical communication.…”

This study reports the results of 12 recent interviews with nonnative-English-speaking (NNES) authors who have conducted research and written articles on health and medical subjects. Analyzing the interview transcripts through the theoretical lens of Pierre Bourdieu’s forms of capital, this study expands on previous research by offering a more precise and theoretically grounded understanding of how NNES authors perceive the value of English proficiency in relation to their success as scientific researchers. This theorization of the varying ways in which authors perceive the value of English proficiency affords new perspectives on the inequities that NNES authors encounter in the global publishing economy and their rhetorical strategies for overcoming these inequities. The study concludes by reflecting on theoretical and practical implications for researchers, teachers, and other stakeholders in the global publishing industry.

“…This claim becomes especially important in light of Celeste Condit's charge that RSTEM scholarship often presumes an unreflectively anti-science stance (Condit, 2013). Rhetoricians of science are hardly alone in their skepticism about science's unvarnished goodness.…”
