Higher Ed: KUT's Jennifer Stayton And Dr. Ed Burger On Self Promotion In Academia

A provocative column this year in The Chronicle of Higher Education laments the rise of what the author calls the "promotional intellectual." Dr. Jeffrey J. Williams of Carnegie Mellon University believes the old adage in academia of "publish or perish" has evolved into "promote or perish." In this episode of KUT's podcast "Higher Ed," Southwestern University President Dr. Ed Burger and KUT's Jennifer Stayton discuss the new - or maybe not-so-new - concept of promoting one's academic work.
