Whether presenting at congressional hearings or engaging in local policy, scholars have leveraged their positions and work to combat social injustices. This panel discussion examines the experiences of scholars in policy engagement, including the decision-making process on how and when to engage, share highly politicized data, and determine the most effective processes and structures to share their work.
The panel will share the nuanced experiences of scholars who conduct, disseminate, and apply research on contemporarily relevant topics such as immigration, affirmative action and race — topics often viewed as inherently political. Additionally, panelists will discuss the often missed ways in which a scholar’s identity, particularly historically underrepresented or marginalized identities, impact the ways their scholarship is received, interpreted, and legitimized by the public.
