If You Publish a Paper, But Nobody Ever Reads It, Does It Really Make an Impact?
When: Thursday, November 9, 4:30-5:30 PM
Where: Faculty of Education, Room 228
Facilitators: Dr. Shannon Moore and Devin King, M.Ed.
In April 2023, Cindy Blackstock challenged academics to be activists: “don’t just write another paper, do something.” Henry Giroux has similarly argued that it is the responsibility of academics to be public intellectuals, to produce work that is accessible to the broader public. Through this presentation, we outline ways academics can produce work for a public audience, including podcasts, op-eds, and public art. Moreover, we'll explore how this work can encourage public dialogue and move public thinking.
