## Resource

Public scholarship is one of those things that most academics are interested in, but unfortunately for them, they don't know how to actually get started. It's not their fault: nobody's ever taught them how, because it's not a part of graduate curricula. The Public Scholar: A Practical Handbook (JHU Press, 2026) is intended to solve that part of the "hidden curriculum" by offering scholars a practical series of steps on how to get started writing for the public, and from there, all of the different directions that they can go in.
