This @berkeleyjournal piece shows how public scholarship is a team effort, based on a case study of a two-decade partnership with the @SentencingProj and their "restore the vote" efforts. I'll be sharing more on this @ASAnews #ASA2023 on Friday & Monday. berkeleyjournal.org/2023/08/…
Two sides of the same coin and public sociology at its finest 🤩 @chrisuggen and @nicoleporter write companion pieces about ending felony disenfranchisement and the magic that happens when academic research teams up w/ nonprofit advocacy 🙌🏼💫CHECK IT OUT: berkeleyjournal.org

The Berkeley Journal of Sociology is rooted in the prioritization of institutional resources for grad students to contribute to the public discourse through sociological inquiry. Allocation of resources for a livable wage is the bare minimum!

The academic machine cannot expect graduate students to contribute to knowledge production if so many of us are struggling with basic material needs like rent and food

What does Public Sociology mean to you? 🤔💡Share your perspective by Feb. 14 to be featured in our upcoming relaunch issue! 🚀 bit.ly/PublicSociology bit.ly/PublicSociology bit.ly/PublicSociology

This isn’t an either or scenario. Both is good. Other scholars, especially ones in other disciplines, also make up public & broader audiences. I just think we’ll have to careful, critical, and inclusive with how define, design, & assess public-facing work and its raison d’être.

As the critical mass of academics on social media increases alongside departmental incentives for scholars to produce public-facing presences, we’ll have to ask ourselves if we use social media to talk to the public, or if we primarily use social media to talk to each other?
