November 12, 2004

to Penn State

I'm on my way to Penn State University this morning for a "National Public Scholarship Conversation." We'll be talking about ways to conduct what Harry Boyte would call "public work" in a land-grant, state university. When scholars do public work they somehow collaborate with fellow citizens to generate ideas and information of public value. We'll also consider "the university's role in the development of democratic principle and practice" among students. I know and admire many of the participants, and the moderator will be NPR's David Brancaccio. So this should be fun.
