Author aut Integrity and Independence - Scholarly Responsibilities and Public Writing Jackson, Vicki C. Verfassungsblog 2022-08-23 Text txt rdacontent Computermedien c rdamedia Online-Ressource cr rdacarrier Professor Khaitan has written a powerful analysis and defense of the role of scholars in pursuing knowledge; he raises many more important issues than I have space to address here. I write in full agreement with several of the attitudes towards scholarly work that Khaitan emphasizes, especially the need for independence of judgment and an openness to revision, but find his “scholactivism” category too broadly conceptualized. Universities and their scholars must focus primarily on knowledge – its production, preservation, and dissemination – but good scholarship can be directed to material change in the world as well as to changes in understanding.
