Engage in Public Scholarship : A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication (Paperback)

An intersectional feminist guidebook on how to engage in public scholarship.

Public scholarship--sharing research with audiences outside of academic settings--has become increasingly necessary to counter the rise of misinformation, fill gaps from cuts to traditional media, and increase the reach of important scholarship. Engaging in these efforts often comes with the risk of harassment and threats--especially for women, people of color, queer communities, and precariously employed workers. Engage in Public Scholarship provides constructive guidance on how to translate research into inclusive public outreach while ensuring that such efforts are safer and more accessible. Alex Ketchum discusses practices and planning for a range of educational activities from in-person and online events, conferences, and lectures to publishing and working with the media, social media activity, blogging, and podcasting. Using an intersectional feminist lens, this book serves as a concise approach to the key challenges and benefits of feminist and accessible public scholarship.
