You may have heard us mention the term \\u201cpublic scholarship\\u201d when talking about the mission of our podcast and our community of readers here at Novel Pairings. But what exactly is public scholarship, and how does it apply to us as lifelong learners? Today in our first Modern Readers episode, we\\u2019re sitting down to define public scholarship, share how our backgrounds in academia and the classroom help us on our mission of public scholarship, and discuss how we hope this framework will open up conversations and allow our fellow readers to think of themselves as public scholars, too. You\\u2019ll also hear about our recent reads that surprisingly fit the theme of today\\u2019s discussion, and we\\u2019ll share some additional titles and resources readers can check out to keep learning about this topic.\\xa0
