On the cusp of the most consequential election cycle of our time, public scholarship can help provide nuance, context, and clarity to a range of pressing issues. ByDr. Khalilah L. Brown-Dean centering policy questions and offering action-based strategies, this scholarship inspires us to make informed choices at the local, state, and national levels. We are pleased to present this series, “At Issue,” featuring publicly engaged scholars whose work highlights key issues of importance. From efforts to reframe discussions about justice and inclusion, to the impact of public debates surrounding immigration and race, the series concludes with a prescription for how we move beyond the election to analyze, organize, and strategize on mutual priorities. The series challenges us to consider how key policy issues within this election may impact the future of higher education and beyond.
