    Part of the GC’s Center for the Humanities’
    Seminar on Public Engagement and Collaborative
    Research
    Scholar-Activism
    Challenges systems of oppression
    and connects one’s academic work
    to the pursuit of social welfare
    Public Higher Education
    Produces knowledges that
    serves the public and acts as a
    site of organizing for social
    movements
    Knowledge from Lived
    Experience
    Disrupts the academy’s
    traditions of objectivity in
    knowledge-production to
    center diverse publics

20. THE SURVEY
    PURPOSE
    11/19/2021
    ABOUT THE SURVEY TOOL:
    POL.IS
    A public humanities research project taking
    stock of how scholar-activism, democratic and
    creative knowledge practices, and knowledge
    from lived experience work toward
    community-inclusion in public, higher
    education.
    Pol.is is a real-time system for gathering,
    analyzing and understanding what large groups
    of people think in their own words, enabled by
    advanced statistics and machine learning.
    Unlike multiple choice or even interview
    surveys, Polis allows for an interactive and
    conversational data collection process.
    Participants can offer comments on existing
    questions and submit their own.
