| Abstract: |
Inspired by a lively discussion during the Southeastern Philosophy of Education Society's annual meeting in 2017, this special issue explores the roles, purposes, possibilities, and caveats of leveraging digital communication technologies (e.g., blogs, social media, etc.) within the academy. As scholars continue to grapple with and integrate new forms of understanding and new methods of disseminating their work, what, then, becomes the role of the public scholar? This issue explores the purposeful engagement of scholarly work and insight in new and traditional media to disseminate knowledge into the public discourse as a potential evolution of academia's mores.
