While the term "public intellectual" has been used to describe
scholars who seek to share their re-search with the public, little
work has been done to examine the role of a public intellectual in
the field of education. This book builds upon the notion of the
public intellectual in a way that makes the term more accessible,
using it to refer to education scholars who seek to share their
research outside of academia. Media coverage of educational issues
is rife with self-appointed experts on education who have claimed
space in public discussions to define educational problems and
dominate public dialogues on education. But where are the education
researchers in these academic dialogues? This book addresses their
absence, sharing the stories of scholars who are seeking to enter
public dialogues and reclaim space for reasoned dialogue on
education. The stories of public scholars highlighted here
acknowledge that the policymaking arena is teeming with value
conflicts that can lead to dismissing or ignoring research if it
does not fit with political agendas.
