A Scholar's Self-Critique of Academic Communication | Bridging the Gap Between Knowledge Production and Communication
As university professors and researchers, we face an uncomfortable truth: while our methods for producing knowledge have evolved dramatically, our communication practices remain frozen in conventions designed for a pre-digital era. This presentation offers a measured, scholarly critique of academic communication from within the academy itself.
What You'll Learn:
• Why visual austerity does not equal intellectual rigor—and what cognitive science tells us
• The pedagogical paradox: how we undermine the communication skills we claim to value
• The industrial contrast: why applied research treats design as integral to rigor
• From static to dynamic learning: the 3-4 year publishing lag vs. real-time knowledge updates
• Why modernizing scholarly communication is a reaffirmation, not a betrayal, of academic values
This is not a call to trivialize research or turn scholarship into marketing. It is a call to recognize visual literacy and effective communication as core academic competencies. If we expect our students to master modern communication, we must first practice it ourselves.
Target Audience: University professors, researchers, academic administrators, instructional designers, graduate students, and anyone interested in the future of scholarly communication and higher education pedagogy.
Key Takeaway: Academic rigor should be measured by the quality of ideas and evidence, not by the absence of color or design.
