Next steps

In this episode we’ll encourage you to make a plan to operationalize your public scholarship training. First we’ll review some of the building blocks of the Sacred Writes approach to public engagement. Then we will encourage you to create a values statement to guide your public engagement and a concrete plan for creating pieces of public scholarship for multiple venues. And we end with some advice about cultivating networks of mutual support and accountability. The overarching theme is sustainability: we want you to engage the public, but only in ways that you find nourishing.
