Engage in Public Scholarship: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication
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.

excellent book - super useful, aimed at arts/humanities scholars but would be more broadly applicable if you’re willing to wade thru the theory a bit. more nuanced than a lot of the work I’ve previously read on open access, which was appreciated. also enjoyed that it was focused on the canadian context. would definitely recommend!!

Bref, concis, accessible, adresse de nombreux sujets et angles d'approche à l'accessibilité (qu'elle soit environnementale, économique, de classe, raciale, etc.). Beaucoup de références et de réflexions nourrissent l'ouvrage et je conseille de les consulter si on veut approfondir certains des sujets de l'ouvrage puisqu'il y a beaucoup de choses abordés dans ce guide ce qui ne laisse pas le temps de les explorer de long en large (mais ce n'est pas le but de l'essai) sinon on aurait plus de 1 000 pages de texte et les sources sont bien citées donc il est "facile" d'être diriger vers l'approndissement.
Il y a même un index à la fin! On dirait que c'est rendu très rare les index alors que c'est tellement pratique!!
