SUMMARY:Philip N. Cohen\, University of Maryland\, "Research Is Not Enough: Public Engagement and the Citizen Scholar"
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nBiography: Philip N. Cohen is Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland\, College Park. His latest book\, Citizen Scholar: Public Engagement for Social Scientists (Columbia University Press 2025)\, addresses the role of intellectuals in public life and offers guidance for a career in social science. His other research concerns demographic trends\, family structure\, the division of labor\, health disparities\, and open science. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResearch Is Not Enough: Public Engagement and the Citizen Scholar\nAbstract: What is the role of professional scholars in civic life? How and why should academics seek to reach audiences beyond their disciplines and institutions? Must there be tension between advancing along an academic career path and taking part in public conversations\, or can these goals reinforce each other? Drawing from personal experience and in-depth research\, this talk features straightforward advice that acknowledges professional risks as well as rewards. Cohen embraces the reciprocal relationship between professional scholarship and active citizenship\, arguing that aligning personal and vocational identities can enhance both public and academic contributions. He explores intellectual work on social media\, science communication\, political activism\, and how to build trust while developing a public intellectual identity (and his experience suing President Trump for blocking him on Twitter – and winning). \n  \nA recording of this event can be found here.
