Dear community-engaged scholarship colleagues,
Community-engaged scholarship demands a rethinking of
peer review & who is a peer. Join us in Baltimore on Sept 23 from 1-4 pm
for a pre-conference session on the topic at the International Association for
Research on Service-Learning & Community Engagement annual conference!
Innovative Practices in Peer Review: Expanding the
Boundaries for Community-Engaged Scholarship
Community-engaged scholars often encounter challenges
through traditional peer review processes as they seek to advance the public
good through dissemination, sharing and discussion of products of
community-engaged scholarship. This
pre-conference session will define and launch a research and action agenda to
expand and rethink the concept of peer review – the process by which
communities assess the quality of scholarly products and, at times, facilitate
or restrict the dissemination of such products.
This interactive working session will involve faculty, administrators,
graduate students, community partners, journal editors, disciplinary leaders,
and funders. Using a modified charrette
format, participants will work collaboratively to design a research and action
agenda around peer review. The focus
will be on designing a strategy for documenting perceptions of peer review
within various sectors (faculty, administration, students, community partners,
journal editors, disciplines), as well as identifying innovative practices that
are already underway.
Learning outcomes for participants include:
• articulating
principles of peer review;
• identifying
innovative mechanisms for peer review and practices that recognize such strategies;
• defining
a research and action agenda and/or specific research projects
to study the expansion of the notion of peer review; and
• establishing
a network of individuals interested in working further on
this topic.
Facilitators:
Sherril B. Gelmon, Portland State University and
