Scholarly Engagement in the Digital Age: Presentation by Dr. Kathleen Fitzpatrick

By Nhora Lucia Serrano

May 4, 2021

On behalf of the AHA! Group on “Scholarly Engagement in the Digital Age,” it is our sincere pleasure to invite you to a virtual lecture on Monday, May 24 at 1:30pm EDT by Kathleen Fitzpatrick on scholarly engagement, higher education and the public good.

Dr. Fitzpatrick’s talk will be hosted on Zoom (https://hamilton.zoom.us/j/92867440880), with an optional public viewing in the Red Pit for faculty interested in viewing the talk together. 

Director of Digital Humanities and Professor of English at Michigan State University, Dr. Fitzpatrick’s talk will draw upon her most recent book, Generous Thinking (Johns Hopkins Univ. Press, 2019). In this book, she encourages the scholars across higher education to broaden the reach of their scholarship by engaging the public good directly. Ensuring that scholarship serves the public is critical to supporting fact-based policy that underpins healthy democratic society. For more information on Kathleen Fitzpatrick or to join an asynchronous faculty discussion of her book, please visit the Scholarly Engagement website or contact Nhora Serrano.

The event is supported by Library and Information Technology Services (LITS), a Dean of Faculty AHA! grant, and the Humanities Center, and is the inaugural talk that launches the AHA! Group’s series of scholarly programming for the AY ‘21-22. Stay tuned for more forthcoming information about future events.
