Popularizing Scholarly Research The Academic Landscape, Representation, and Professional Identity in the 21st Century

A roadmap to guide individuals on the ever-changing path of public scholarship

The academic landscape is shifting greatly in the 21st century, and modern researchers must be able to navigate this sphere. With increased communication via the Internet and social media, researchers have developed new ways of conducting and representing research. Popularizing Scholarly Research: The Academic Landscape, Representation, and Professional Identity in the 21st Century explains how research has turned from disciplinary to transdisciplinary, the new structures research may take, as well as what a scholar's professional life may look like. An impressive list of contributors cover transdisciplinary research, public intellectuals, audience and voice, creative nonfiction, writing collaboratively, visual images, writing for broad audiences, academic blogs, publicity, funding, and public policy. Additionally, Patricia Leavy includes supplemental resources to augment the information presented by contributors. Taking influence from Oxford Handbook of Methods for Public Scholarship, this book is required for anyone who wants to understand and keep up with modern research practices and build a career in this shifting arena.
