Link: discussion on 'public intellectuals'
Thisis a discussion (very USA-focused) prompted by a New York Times article which complains about the decline of 'public intellectuals'. I don't think the original article is particularly good, but at the link there is interesting debate about whether academics within institutions are well-equipped to talk to the public, and also anecdotal evidence that some of the most able postgraduate students in the social sciences and humanities are publishing online because more traditional venues aren't open to them.
