Summary
The incentives of academia tend to focus faculty discussions within their narrow disciplinary fields. In this episode, David M. Perry joins us to discuss how faculty expertise can be used to enhance public discussions and decision-making. David is a journalist, a medieval historian, and the Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies in History at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. In addition to his books on medieval history, his work on history, parenting, disability, and politics has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Nation, The Daily Beast, Smithsonian, Slate, CNN, and many others. His most recent book, The Public Scholar: A Practical Handbook, has just been released by Johns Hopkins University.
