This edited collection addresses the challenges for critically
engaged research, teaching and scholarship on race and racism in a
climate marked by sweeping changes in universities. Each chapter
engages with debates about universities and 'publics', and the
public orientation and reach of academic work. How do these factors
play out in the work of scholars pursuing racial and social
justice? What are the constraints of the marketised university or
the bureaucratised political field or the celebrity-hungry arena of
media culture? How can we use scholarly research and knowledge to
create different and better meanings and outcomes in any of these
places? With a focus on engaged and activist scholarship attuned to
theory and practice, the chapters consider these issues in France,
the UK, USA and Costa Rica. The chapters include discussions of
teaching for social justice, collaborating and advocating for
migrant and local communities and deploying scholarly knowledge in
political work and the media. This book was originally published as
a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
