Race Critical Public Scholarship Hardback
Edited by Karim (Open University, UK) Murji, Gargi (University of East London, UK) Bhattacharyya
Part of the Ethnic and Racial Studies series
Hardback
Description
This edited collection addresses the challenges for critically engaged research, teaching and scholarship on race and racism in a climate marked by sweeping changes in universities.
Each chapter engages with debates about universities and ‘publics’, and the public orientation and reach of academic work.
How do these factors play out in the work of scholars pursuing racial and social justice?
What are the constraints of the marketised university or the bureaucratised political field or the celebrity-hungry arena of media culture?
How can we use scholarly research and knowledge to create different and better meanings and outcomes in any of these places?
With a focus on engaged and activist scholarship attuned to theory and practice, the chapters consider these issues in France, the UK, USA and Costa Rica.
The chapters include discussions of teaching for social justice, collaborating and advocating for migrant and local communities and deploying scholarly knowledge in political work and the media. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
