Communicating Social Change: Structure, Culture, and Agency explores the use of communication to transform global, national, and local structures of power that create and sustain oppressive conditions. Author Mohan J. Dutta describes the social challenges that exist in current globalization politics, and examines the communicative processes, strategies, and tactics through which social change interventions are constituted in response to the challenges. Using empirical evidence and case studies, he documents the ways through which those in power create conditions at the margins, and he provides.

Drawing on a digital ethnography and in-depth interviews conducted with low-wage migrant workers in hyper-precarious working conditions amidst ongoing neoliberal transformations in India and Singapore, this manuscript offers a comparative framework for examining the limits of pandemic communication. Interrogating the ideology of behaviourism that forms the dominant approach, the narratives point to the organizing role of structures as sites of labour exploitation. The exploitative labour conditions constitute the backdrop amidst which the migrant workers negotiate their health and well-being.

In this conclusion essay, I weave together the different voices in this special issue to voice the role of autoethnography as a method for radicalizing knowledge production as decolonial academic-activist solidarities. Theorizing the body of the academic as the site for intervention into the authoritarian-neoliberal regimes of knowledge production, I imagine the ways in which the account of the personal disrupts the colonizing tropes that are reproduced by postcolonial cultural studies, offering home as a site for voicing resistance.

Based on the empirical evidence that documents the link between fruit and vegetable consumption and a plethora of health outcomes, multiple campaign initiatives have been launched in the past decade seeking to drive the consumption of fruits and vegetables in the U.S. population. A review of the existing literature suggests that most campaign initiatives have taken an episodic approach to the task of increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. This article offers an alternative framework by highlighting the importance of a psychographic approach that emphasizes the treatment of the whole individual. In this case, health orientation is defined and located as the underlying variable that drives a multitude of health-related behaviors including fruit and vegetable consumption. The study results support the notion that an underlying sense of health orientation drives health behaviors such as fruit and vegetable consumption. Specific recommendations are made for campaign initiatives that take a comprehensive and long-term approach to health behavior change.

The introduction of the internet in American life has led to debate among media scholars, sociologists and political scientists about the role of the internet in society. Two areas of research that have received substantial attention in the domain of internet effects are the digital divide and social capital. Digital divide researchers have pointed out the critical gaps in society among different groups in the context of their access to new media and technology. Social capital researchers have focused on the influence of the internet on community life. The article contributes to the literature by (a) consolidating the two concepts of access and community participation to articulate the community correlates of the digital divide, and (b) applying a complementary resource-based perspective to capture the relationship between the internet and community outcomes. It investigates the role of community access to the internet in the context of the participation of individuals in their communities and their satisfaction with community life.
