35.017 - Division K Fireside Chat. The Risks, Rewards, and Imperative of Public Scholarship

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Too often the structures driving the production and dissemination of knowledge silences and marginalizes particular groups by restricting knowledge production and dissemination to university-based researchers. But for many people with marginalized identities, engaging in public scholarship is a risky endeavor. In this fireside chat, we ask scholars and graduate students to raise important questions about the nature of public scholarship and reflect on challenges facing this line of work. We hope to foster a rich conversation about the risks, rewards, and necessity of public scholarship and how it may be able to address the historic and systemic inequities associated with who is recognized as producing knowledge in the field of education.
