Risk and Ethics in Public Scholarship | Inside Higher Ed | Tressie McMillan Cottom, Emo... - 1 views

  • The irony of good public scholarship is that when it is done well it will inspire strong reactions. You’ve not lived until your first Internet hate message. That vitriol is one thing when it is confined to comments on a blog post but when it is coming from colleagues or senior members of your field engagement can have serious consequences. Making public scholarship less dangerous requires institutional commitment, allies, and advocates.
  • social media and online spaces provide a means for women and minority scholars to build networks as protective factors against institutional forces that marginalize them. But, I offer that argument with a caveat: doing so is not without risk.
  •  
    a wise and wonderful essay - especially important for those scholars who might buckle under the bullying and harassment so common in academia but more frightening when open and in the public domain. MOOCs should encourage public scholarship - and help to make it more valued... and of higher quality - but they will need to include in the design that the facilitators modeling advocacy and constructive kinds of alliances for the participants. That is, providing that "institutional commitment" for public scholarship that is thoughtful and intriguing (vs. public showboating).
