Feminist Approaches to Digital Public Scholarship

Developed by The Pedagogy Lab, Feminist Approaches to Digital Public Scholarship offers practical strategies for sharing research in accessible and engaging ways across a range of digital formats. Whether you are creating social media content, writing a public-facing article, recording a podcast, designing a digital story, or experimenting with video, this guide is intended to support you in bringing your work into conversation with audiences beyond the university while remaining attentive to feminist ethics, risks, and politics.

This guide is written primarily for graduate students, early-career scholars, educators, activists, and community-engaged researchers who want practical tools for communicating their work publicly. No previous experience with public scholarship, social media, podcasting, or content creation is required. If you are excited by these possibilities but unsure how to begin, this guide is designed to help you integrate public scholarship into your existing research, teaching, and community work. By sharing research publicly, scholars can contribute to collective learning, challenge misinformation, support community knowledge-making, and help build more just futures. We hope this guide helps you make informed choices about how, when, and why to share your work with wider publics, and how to do so in ways that align with your values.
