So, here's a question: when your public scholarship comes up in an interview as an example of your academic activity (because public engagement matters) and you get asked "Do you monetize that?" ...how exactly are you supposed to respond?
This is somewhere where I think the humanities and the sciences diverge a bit in that bringing in outside funding, while valuable for the humanities, is less than in the sciences, where it is a dominant concern. In any event, my answer was 'yes' because that was the truth!

Research dollars have long long been part of the scientific research game, but there is movement to turn our outputs into IP that can be monetized. Basic research can't always do that, at least not easily, still the pressure persists.

Based on this thread, I am now wondering if that pressure is manifesting itself in other fields - social sciences, humanities, arts as state legislatures turn away from funding public universities because they are viewed as out of touch.
