The Election is Over. Your Opportunity is Just Beginning.

Another election season has ended, but the challenges it highlighted remain. From misinformation and polarized debates to urgent social and environmental issues, the need for clear, informed, and actionable voices has never been greater.

This is where public scholars come in—and where your opportunity begins as a professor and subject matter expert.

As a tenured professor, in particular, your knowledge has the power to shape public conversations, inform policy, and inspire change.

But here’s the truth:

➡️ If your voice isn’t part of the dialogue, someone less informed will fill the gap.

➡️ If you wait for the "right time," you risk being invisible when the world needs you most.

➡️ If you don't take action, your expertise could remain confined to academia, instead of making a real-world impact.

Why Professors Are More Important Than Ever

💡 Combatting Misinformation: Misinformation spreads like wildfire after elections. Your expertise can provide clarity and credibility in a sea of false narratives.

💡 Shaping Policy: Elected officials need research-backed insights to make informed decisions. Your voice can bridge the gap between academia and real-world solutions.

💡 Building an Informed Public: A strong democracy depends on a well-informed public. Professors who step into the public sphere help educate beyond the classroom.

How You Can Step Into the Role of a Public Intellectual and Thought Leader

You don’t need to overhaul your career to engage with the public. Small, intentional steps can position you as a trusted voice:

1. Define Your Niche: Identify 2–3 key topics where your expertise intersects with public interest.
2. Create Accessible Content: Use platforms like LinkedIn, X (Twitter), or a personal blog to break down complex ideas for broader audiences.
3. Take Action: Write an op-ed, speak at community events, or join a podcast. Start small, but start.
