Community-Engaged ScholarshipThree Essential Criteria Draws on Faculty Member’s Expertise

About Community-Engaged ScholarshipCES one part student or faculty community engagement + one part faculty scholarship derived therefrom ------------------------------------------------------- community-engaged scholarship Select Manifestations of CES • Scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) • Research on service-learning (stu, fac, comm) • Scholarship of engagement (CBR, Public Scholarship) • Scholarship on engagement

1. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) There’s a whole literature on this subject. In a nutshell, SoTL covers innovative teaching and studying (some aspect or model of) teaching Potential article topics: • a case study of service-learning teaching • a new service-learning model within a discipline • an interdisciplinary model • a reflection innovation • a self-journey (auto-ethnography)

1. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL):Sample Article Titles • Critical Community Service Learning: Combining Critical Classroom Pedagogy with Activist Community Placements • Points of Discomfort: Reflections on Power and Partnerships in International Service Learning • Student Perceptions of Community-based Research Partners and the Politics of Knowledge • Disrupting Borders: A Case Study in Engaged Scholarship What might be a focus of an article that you might write that relates directly to teaching a service-learning course and would qualify as an example of the scholarship of teaching and learning?

2. Research on Service-Learning: Possible Directions STUDENTS Academic Civic Multicultural FACULTY Motivation Impediments RESEARCH ON SERVICE-LEARNING COMMUNITIES Impacts Partnerships INSTITUTIONS SERVICE-LEARNING DISCIPLINES Comparing how different disciplines think about community involvement

2. Research on Service-Learning:Sample Article Titles • College Students’ Negotiation of Privilege in a Community-Based Violence Prevention Project • Service-Learning and Critical Emotion Studies: On the Perils of Empathy and the Politics of Compassion • Building Effective Community-University Partnerships: Are Universities Truly Ready? • Negotiating Border Crossing: Influences of Social Identity on Service-Learning Outcomes • University Students’ Views of a Public Service Graduation Requirement • Stability and Change in the Development of College Students’ Civic Attitudes, Knowledge, and Skill • What might be a focus of an article that you might write that addresses some aspect of research on service-learning?

3. Scholarship of Engagement Where a faculty member is invited to become involved in the community in a way that involves and benefits the community, taps the faculty member’s expertise, and leads to a scholarly product derived from the community experience Two popular forms of scholarship of engagement are: (a) community-based research – where a faculty member co-develops a research project that involves the community in the shaping of it, that is intended to benefit the community, and that also benefits the faculty member’s scholarship; and (b) public scholarship (Imagining America) – where a (humanities, art, or design) faculty member co-develops a product that contributes to the public good and yields artifacts of public and intellectual value.

Scholarship of EngagementSample Article Titles • Principles of Best Practice for Community-Based Research • A Case Study of a Community-Based Participatory Evaluation Research Project

3. Scholarship of Engagement:Example A business professor proficient in for-profit strategic planning is invited to work with a local nonprofit on their strategic plan (Professional Service). From the experience, she writes an article or a book about what does/doesn’t apply from for-profit strategic planning to nonprofit strategic planning. Describe a way you might become involved in the community such that it involves and benefits the community, taps your area of expertise, and culminates in a scholarly product or public artifact?

4. Scholarship on Engagement The study of some facet of campus-community engagement.

4. Scholarship on Engagement:Sample Article Titles • Institutionalizing Faculty Engagement at Research Universities: A Case Study • What influences Long-Term Service-Learning Sustainability: Lessons from a Study of Early Adopters • The Role of Incentives in Attracting Faculty to Engaged Scholarship • Investigating Faculty Learning in the Context of Community-Engaged Scholarship • Place-Building Theory: A Framework for Assessing, Advancing, and Critically Examining Community Engagement in Higher Education • Human Subjects Protection: A Source for Ethical Service-Learning Practice • University Leaders’ Use of Episodic Power to Support Faculty Community Engagement • Why the Civic Engagement Movement Cannot Achieve Democratic and Justice Aims What would be a topic you might consider investigating in a scholarly way that pertains to some facet of campus-community engagement?
