Translating SoTL for the Public: Thoughts on Why and How
Conference Tracks
About SoTL – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion
Abstract
SoTL practitioners interested in extending the impact of SoTL work have called for scholars to purposefully share their work beyond their traditional scholarly audiences. This more “public” form of scholarship allows SoTL scholars to translate their work to demonstrate its value to those beyond the SoTL or higher education communities.
This presentation will focus on SoTL as public scholarship to extend the relevance of the field. Presenters will share examples of public scholarship across several of disciplines, including SoTL, and task small groups with brainstorming additional possibilities for this type of SoTL that extends its original notions of “going public.”
