GSC Division G Fireside Chat: Public or Private Intellectualism? Perspectives on Scholarly Responsibility and Social Change

Session Submission Type: Fireside Chat

Abstract

The public discourse that positions the academy in “the ivory tower” detaches it from “real” people, issues and ideas is detached from “real” people, issues, and ideas. Many scholars struggle to serve the community while meeting academe’s demands for research, teaching, and service. In this fireside chat, panelists will reflect on the ways in which they have managed successful academic careers while simultaneously using their scholarly platforms in constructive ways to effect social change.
