As such, it has drawn attention to two important matters-first, the fact that the academic discourse is only one among many conversational styles in which we are able to talk about the world, and, second, the role of lived experience, which previously lacked credence as a source of knowledge, but which can now be accessed for theory building. Together, these liberating practices enable scholars to include themselves and their experiences in explaining why and how they perform their intellectual work. This paper analyzes the reasons for the marginalization of feminist thought in the interdisciplinary area of communication studies and elucidates the potential contributions of this approach to social communication theorizing.
