The Scholar as Human brings together faculty from a wide range of
disciplines-history; art; Africana, American, and Latinx studies;
literature, law, performance and media arts, development sociology,
anthropology, and Science and Technology Studies-to focus on how
scholarship is informed, enlivened, deepened, and made more
meaningful by each scholar's sense of identity, purpose, and place
in the world. Designed to help model new paths for publicly-engaged
humanities, the contributions to this groundbreaking volume are
guided by one overarching question: How can scholars practice a
more human scholarship? Recognizing that colleges and universities
must be more responsive to the needs of both their students and
surrounding communities, the essays in The Scholar as Human carve
out new space for public scholars and practitioners whose rigor and
passion are equally important forces in their work. Challenging the
approach to research and teaching of earlier generations that
valorized disinterestedness, each contributor here demonstrates how
they have energized their own scholarship and its reception among
their students and in the wider world through a deeper engagement
with their own life stories and humanity. Contributors: Anna Sims
