Work stemming from the Public Scholar Initiative can be embedded throughout the dissertation, or could comprise a separate chapter (s).  It is up to you, your supervisor, and your supervisory committee to determine what is appropriately included in the dissertation, and a rationale for their scholarly merit and relevance is expected.  The G+PS Dean’s office allows a broad spectrum of scholarly artifacts in addition to academic papers, including policy papers, syllabi, communication material to non-academic audiences, films, patent applications, etc.  Students should note that their dissertation will be publicly available, with exceptions made for limited-term embargos for well-justified reasons.
