I realize that my first question might be too simple and my second question might be a bit simplistic. However, these are the first thoughts that came to mind when looking at issues in writing.

1. To be broad, my current subject of research is the emoji. However, I’ve come across very little scholarship regarding this subject. I was wondering, which journals should I explore to find some scholarship on the emoji?

2. I’m currently on the Professional Writing track. Through various courses and readings, I’ve come to learn that the terms “professional writing” and “technical writing” do not necessitate us to “detach ourselves” from the process… necessarily. But might there be a point where we throw ourselves into the scholarship itself too much?
