Dr. Gordon responded to the following questions:

1. How would you define “public scholarship”?

2. What is the purpose of the Public Scholarship course?

3. Before this course was created, how were the academic needs of public scholarship met?

4. Has the student relationship to the Race & Pedagogy Institute changed along with this course? If so, how?
