Being a Scholar in the Digital Era

Transforming scholarly practice for the public good

by Jessie DanielsPolly Thistlethwaite

Jessie Daniels and Polly Thistlethwaite. Bristol, UK: Policy Press, 2016.

What opportunities do digital technologies present scholars? How do developments in digital media support scholarship and teaching, and how can academics apply them to further social justice activism? The authors, a sociologist and a librarian, examine scholarly practice in the digital era to explore how academics, journalists, and activists can combine efforts to support social justice issues. With scholarly communication undergoing rapid change, and with digital innovation applied in higher education for many reasons, authors outline what scholars can do to channel their work to benefit the public good.
