Recognizing that academics are also humans with interests, values, and biases, in this panel discussion, Emma Despland, Amy Poteete, Rebecca Tittler, and Nicole Yu will discuss their experiences, lessons learned, and ongoing challenges as academics doing applied work with community, government, and industry partners. Particular emphasis will be put on the role of academics as ordinary citizens with values, on the one hand, and as researchers and pedagogues within academic institutions, on the other.
