\"StanfordTrinity College has partnered with Stanford Digital Education to launch a new book talk series, Academic Innovation for the Public Good<\/em>, which will foster discussion about how to make higher education\u2019s future more equitable and accessible.<\/p>\n

Each hour-long Zoom interview features the author of a recently published book exploring the role of colleges and universities in addressing society\u2019s most pressing problems and the potential for innovation to address those challenges. An expert in the author\u2019s field will conduct the interview, followed by questions from the audience.<\/p>\n

The free and open-to-the-public series began in January with Trinity\u2019s Davarian Baldwin, Paul E. Raether Distinguished Professor of American Studies, discussing his recent book, In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower: How Universities Are Plundering Our Cities<\/em>. Baldwin was interviewed by Michael Kahan, co-director of Stanford University\u2019s Program on Urban Studies.<\/p>\n

Trinity Vice President for Library and Information Technology Services Kristen Eshleman said that the LITS team at Trinity is excited to co-create this interview series with Stanford. \u201cAcademics have done the deepest research on higher education and the public good, and we all benefit from more exposure to their work,\u201d Eshleman said. \u201cWith this web-based model of book talks, we aim to support academic authors and help turn what would be small-scale local conversations into more impactful national ones.\u201d<\/p>\n
