How do scientists, scholars, and other experts engage with the
general public and with the communities affected by their work or
residing in their sites of study? Where are the fine lines between
public scholarship, civic engagement, and activism? Must academics
'give back' once they collect data and publish results? In this
volume, authors from a wide range of disciplines examine these
relationships to assess how they can be fruitful or challenging.
Describing the methodological and ethical issues that experts must
consider when carrying out public scholarship, this book includes a
checklist for critical factors of success in engagement and an
examination of the role of digital social media in science
communication. Illustrated by a range of case studies addressing
environmental issues (climate change, resource use, post-disaster
policy) and education, it offers an investigation into the levels
and ways in which scholars can engage, and how and whether
academics and experts who engage in community work and public
scholarship are acknowledged and rewarded for doing so by their
institutions. Also bringing into the debate the perspective of
citizens who have collaborated with academics, the book offers an
exploration of the democratizing potential of participatory action
research.
