DESCRIPTION:What is the role of professional scholars in civic life? How an
 d why should academics seek to reach audiences beyond their disciplines an
 d institutions? Must there be tension between advancing along an academic 
 career path and taking part in public conversations\, or can these goals r
 einforce each other?\n\nThis book is a practitioner’s guide to civic eng
 agement today\, showing current and aspiring social scientists how to buil
 d a career in the public sphere. Drawing from personal experience and in-d
 epth research\, Philip N. Cohen gives straightforward advice that acknowle
 dges professional risks as well as rewards. He calls on readers to embrace
  the reciprocal relationship between professional scholarship and active c
 itizenship\, arguing that aligning personal and vocational identities can 
 enhance both public and academic contributions. Citizen Scholar explores i
 ntellectual work on social media\, communication on topical issues\, the r
 ole of political activism\, and how to build trust while developing a publ
 ic intellectual identity. It features lively examples from Cohen’s own w
 ork\, from data-visualization principles to his experience suing President
  Trump for blocking him on Twitter—and winning.\n\nFor social scientists
  seeking to reach a wider public\, Citizen Scholar provides tools and stra
 tegies for intellectual engagement and imparts invaluable perspective on h
 ow to lead a fulfilling professional and civic life.\n\nPhilip N. Cohen is
  a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland\, College Park. Hi
 s books include The Family: Diversity\, Inequality\, and Social Change (fo
 urth edition\, 2024)\, and his commentary has appeared in major media outl
 ets such as the New York Times and the Washington Post.\n\nJamila Michener
  (Cornell Gov) and David Rand (Cornell Bowers) will serve as commentators 
 for Philip's talk.
