Public Works: How to Write About Charged Political Issues
How can scholars weigh in on the crisis of our moment? What are the risks? How can writers navigate the challenge of using academic knowledge in public settings?
Following the public lecture with Michael Rothberg on 10/9 (Historical Analogy and the Politics of Holocaust Memory), we invite faculty, staff, and grad students to attend a small-group discussion. We’ll consider strategies and methods and explore the challenges, rewards, and process of writing about divisive issues, whether for academic audiences or public consumption. Space is limited and registration is required. To join, email rsvp@humanities.wisc.edu with your name and affiliation.
