Scholars Beyond the Tower

Erin Becker & Caroline Propersi-Grossman

There's no one way to be a scholar. We all produce and consume meaningful work- regardless of our job titles. Erin and Caroline have decided to spotlight scholars with one foot in the academy and one foot anywhere else. We’re all involved in something- and our work matters. Join us for a comical journey through our professional and public lives.
