Making the Thing is the Thing
The increasing expectation for public scholarship from academic institutions is shifting the focus from the "scholarship" itself to its public-facing aspect. However, Trevor Linn suggests that these projects should also allow scholars to experiment and learn new methods and modes of delivery. Furthermore, Linn reiterates Dr. Judith Brunton's assertion that creating the work, not the audience, is essential, highlighting that the scholar themselves can be a part of the public these projects serve.
