New Monthly Column by Susan D’Agostino ’91 for Inside Higher Ed

Susan D’Agostino ’91, Bard alumna and former Language and Thinking faculty member, has released the first installment of her new column, The Public Scholar, to be published monthly in Inside Higher Ed. The column will focus on helping academics share their expertise with the wider world by giving practical advice for getting their research into leading newspapers and magazines, discussing how to navigate the publishing world, and sharing other strategies for experts in their fields to shape public conversations that matter. “Academia often trains scholars to seek approval—through grants, press offices and peer-reviewed publications,” D’Agostino writes in her new column. “But the reality is that institutional support often follows after a scholar gains visibility. You already have the credentials to write for the public in your area of expertise. Now you need the courage and practical tips for doing so.”
