He frames his political activism within the context of a larger trend in political science away from the affairs of academia toward more public and political engagement. Some political scientists have become purely activists; a few have left academe and accepted appointments in government or have been elected to full-time office. Davis discusses different ways to remain both active in academic life while also becoming more publicly engaged in the community and state where one lives. At a time when higher education is going through a crisis, this book shows how political scholars may find alternative ways to explore their passion for politics"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Political science $x Study and teaching (Higher) $z United States. 650 0 $a Political scientists $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a College teachers $x Political activity $z United States. 651 0 $a Utah $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a College teachers $x Political activity $2 fast 650 7 $a Political science $x Study and teaching (Higher) $2 fast 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast 651 7 $a United States $2 fast 651 7 $a Utah $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Davis, Richard, 1955- $t Beyond the ivory tower $d Lawrence : University Press of Kansas, 2023 $z 9780700634996 $w (DLC) 2022043576 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012355.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF37B846141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
