David M. Perry, "The Public Scholar: A Practical Handbook" (JHU Press, 2026)
from Scholarly Communication · host New Books Network
Public scholarship is one of those things that most academics are interested in, but unfortunately for them, they don't know how to actually get started. It's not their fault: nobody's ever taught them how, because it's not a part of graduate curricula. The Public Scholar: A Practical Handbook (JHU Press, 2026) is intended to solve that part of the "hidden curriculum" by offering scholars a practical series of steps on how to get started writing for the public, and from there, all of the different directions that they can go in.
