Public scholarship refers to making scholarship more accessible to a wider, nonacademic population or the public. It can take many forms, including publishing opinion pieces in major news outlets; writing a blog; drafting a policy brief; writing a book for a nonacademic audience; offering a public talk that is recorded and shared widely; fostering a presence on social media; or leading community-engaged service, research, and engagement efforts.

As a form of public scholarship, the Student Affairs Now (studentaffairsnow.com) podcast is one of many online learning communities and podcasts related to higher education. The audience for our podcast and video series is primarily student affairs and higher education professionals who work within the academy and those working adjacent to or beyond higher education institutions. We provide an unconventional route to sharing and learning beyond classroom instruction, peer-reviewed publications, and conference presentations. In this brief, we will discuss the benefits of public scholarship beyond its response to the limitations of more traditional scholarship. We will also share some of what we learned during the first three years of Student Affairs Now with an eye toward helping contributors and consumers inform public scholarship into the next 100 years of ACPA.

BENEFITS OF PUBLIC SCHOLARSHIP

Considering our increasingly busy lives, fewer resources, unconventional work arrangements, and more distractions, nontraditional forms of scholarship allow professionals and scholars to contribute to and consume in a greater variety of ways that may also be more accessible. Busy administrative leaders might read a research or policy brief directly applicable to their next project while eating lunch or listen to a pod-cast related to a particular emerging student issue on their evening commute. These forms of public scholarship can offer consumable and low-cost forms of professional development that help educators stay informed about the latest research, better practices, and challenges affecting the field. They can also help administrators be more strategic in improving institutional practices. Public scholarship can make [End Page 217] complex issues more accessible, engage a wider audience in solving problems, and leverage limited resources more efficiently.

STUDENT AFFAIRS NOW AS PUBLIC SCHOLARSHIP

Established during the fall of 2020 at the height of the pandemic, the online learning community and podcast Student Affairs Now began as and remains a passion project. During one of our earliest planning conversations, Susana Muñoz articulated a yearning to "make a contribution to the field while being restorative to the profession." This has become our vision for the project. Since we launched, we have seen our podcast conversations contribute to student affairs by offering new ways for access and engagement that reach more people than traditional forms of scholarship generally do. In our first three years, we released 172 episodes that have been downloaded 120,000 times and viewed 50,000 times on YouTube. Thanks to support from industry sponsors, we can remove the cost barrier to learning by making the pod-cast free to our audience. We provide an edited transcript and citation for accessibility and to enable referencing and sharing in more traditional scholarly modalities. The episodes are also easy to share.

Timely and Timeless

Without peer-review processes, publication delays, and conference proposals due nine months before the event, we can be nimble and responsive in recording relevant conversations. For instance, we recorded and shared a discussion unpacking the complexities of the film Barbie when it was released in the summer of 2023. We also have an extensive catalog so our audience can access past episodes when the conversation is timely for them with respect to their coursework, institutional issues, new scholarship, and emerging issues. As such, we can be timely and timeless simultaneously. As ACPA celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, we are proud to feature new and innovative contributors to higher education while also adding to the archives by interviewing legends of the profession who look back through decades of history and offer wisdom and insights.

Audience Engagement Matters

The format allows direct and indirect engagement from the audience. Student affairs educators...

学生事务公共奖学金现况

以下是内容的简短摘录，以代替摘要：

公共奖学金是指让更广泛的非学术群体或公众更容易获得奖学金。它可以采取多种形式，包括在主要新闻媒体上发表观点文章；写博客；起草政策简报；为非学术读者写书；提供公开演讲并进行录制并广泛分享；提高在社交媒体上的影响力；或领导社区参与的服务、研究和参与工作。

作为公共奖学金的一种形式，学生事务现在(studentaffairsnow.com) 播客是众多与高等教育相关的在线学习社区和播客之一。我们的播客和视频系列的受众主要是学生事务和高等教育专业人士，他们在学院内工作，以及在高等教育机构附近或之外工作。我们提供超越课堂教学、同行评审出版物和会议演示之外的非传统分享和学习途径。在本文中，我们将讨论公共奖学金的好处，超越其对传统奖学金局限性的回应。我们还将分享我们在现在学生事务的前三年中学到的一些知识，着眼于帮助贡献者和消费者为 ACPA 下一个 100 年的公共奖学金提供信息。

公共奖学金的好处

考虑到我们日益忙碌的生活、越来越少的资源、非常规的工作安排以及越来越多的干扰，非传统形式的学术研究让专业人士和学者能够以更多种、更容易获得的方式做出贡献和消费。忙碌的行政领导可能会在吃午餐时阅读直接适用于他们下一个项目的研究或政策简报，或者在晚上通勤时收听与特定新兴学生问题相关的播客。这些形式的公共奖学金可以提供可消耗且低成本的专业发展形式，帮助教育工作者了解最新的研究、更好的实践和影响该领域的挑战。它们还可以帮助管理者在改进机构实践方面更具战略性。公共奖学金可以使[结束第217页]复杂的问题变得更容易理解，让更广泛的受众参与解决问题，并更有效地利用有限的资源。

学生事务现在作为公共奖学金

在线学习社区和播客“学生事务现在”成立于 2020 年秋季疫情最严重的时期，最初是并且仍然是一个充满热情的项目。在我们最早的一次规划对话中，苏珊娜·穆尼奥斯表达了一种“在恢复职业的同时为该领域做出贡献”的渴望。这已成为我们对该项目的愿景。自从我们推出以来，我们已经看到我们的播客对话通过提供新的访问和参与方式为学生事务做出了贡献，这些方式比传统形式的学术奖学金覆盖了更多的人。在最初的三年里，我们发布了 172 集，在 YouTube 上的下载量和浏览量分别为 120,000 次和 50,000 次。感谢行业赞助商的支持，我们可以通过向观众免费提供播客来消除学习成本障碍。我们提供经过编辑的成绩单和引文，以便以更传统的学术方式进行参考和共享。这些剧集也很容易分享。

及时且永恒

没有同行评审流程、出版延迟和会议提案在活动前九个月到期，我们可以灵活、快速地记录相关对话。例如，我们录制并分享了一场讨论，探讨了2023 年夏天上映的电影《芭比娃娃》的复杂性。我们还有一个内容广泛的目录，以便观众可以在对话及时了解他们的需求时访问过去的剧集。课程作业、机构问题、新奖学金和新出现的问题。因此，我们可以同时做到及时和永恒。今年，ACPA 庆祝其成立 100 周年，我们很自豪能够介绍对高等教育做出贡献的新的创新人士，同时还通过采访该行业的传奇人物来丰富档案，他们回顾了数十年的历史，提供了智慧和见解。

观众参与很重要

这种形式允许观众直接和间接参与。学生事务教育工作者...
