Becoming a public scholar helps to advance public understanding of important social issues, inspire ideas and shape policies. According to the CCFC, it also gives faculty and graduate students important advantages to:

  • increase the social impact of their work
  • boost their visibility
  • build their networks
  • make them more effective teachers, mentors and advocates on issues that matter most to them.

The Public Scholarship workshop series will be conducted via Zoom, and a log-in ID will be provided to registered participants.

The scheduled workshops include:

  • Thursday, Oct. 15, Noon to 1:30 p.m.—Writing Books for Bigger Audiences by Sharmila Sen, editorial director for Harvard University Press. Register by Thursday, Oct. 8.
