One of the first projects that I began working on when I joined the doctoral program at the University of South Florida is now officially published in Communication Monographs.

This piece is an examination of the concept of anticipatory resilience (from the communication theory of resilience) using the antenarrative theoretical framework developed by David Boje. My coauthors and I use the two ideas in concert to advance a reframed understanding of how individuals make sense of the future in terms of the stories of past disruption. We argue that, too often, scholars search for coherence in peoples’ stories of disruption in order to demonstrate that they have moved past or found meaning in those events; we argue, instead, that places where incoherence emerges in those narratives is the key to understanding how people move forward and craft new realities.

This piece was a long time in the making, and I am so pleased to be able to share it now. Also, many thanks to my coauthors Elizabeth A. Hintz and Patrice M. Buzzanell.
