The pandemic has been a catalyst for scholars to re-envision their work and social impact in a digital world. To support current and future public scholars, this online series will provide strategies for how to engage different publics in creating, disseminating, and applying scholarship for social change, and leveraging digital platforms and tools such as digital archives, podcasts, and social media.
