Dear community-engaged scholarship colleagues,
As announced earlier, on this listserv, the University of
Saskatchewan has founded the first Canadian peer-reviewed scholarly Journal on
community-university engagement and scholarship. The Journal’s Advisory
Committee and Editorial Team are announcing the call for papers for the
inaugural issue of the Journal on the topic, Building Engaged Scholarship in
Canada: http://www.usask.ca/engagedscholar/news/2014/call-for-papers-for-engaged-scholar-journals-inaugural-issue-.php. (Please note there is also a call for papers
for a special issue on the theme Quality of Life: Towards Sustainable Community
Futures, also with an Aug 31 deadline: http://www.usask.ca/engagedscholar/news/2014/esj-special-issue-on-quality-of-life-.php)
They invite contributions from community and university
based researchers, teachers, and scholars that explore or profile the history,
the development and social applications of engaged scholarship in Canada.
Engaged scholarship most commonly refers to a range of collaborative research,
teaching, and learning initiatives rooted in sustained community-university
partnerships and pursued across various disciplines and social and cultural
contexts. The inaugural issue aims to profile the best practices of community
engagement as pursued by Canadian researchers at home and elsewhere, from
historical and disciplinary perspectives.
Submissions are being sought for various sections of the
Journal’s inaugural issue:
— essays
examining the history of the engaged scholarship movement in Canada in general,
or in a particular discipline specifically
— essays
exploring the meaning and process, theory and practice of engagement in a given
discipline or across disciplines
— essays focusing
in depth on the collaborative nature of specific partnerships and projects
— reports from
the field on ongoing initiatives
— book reviews
— conference
reports
— other
submissions, also in various media (audio, text, visual)
The topics will include:
— the history of
scholarly engagement in Canada
— the
philosophical and cultural foundations of engaged scholarship in the Canadian
context
— the joys and
challenges of collaborative participatory work
— engaged scholarship,
public health, and the co-production of knowledge
— engaging
cross-culturally and what it means
— community
service learning and scholarship of engagement
— teaching and
engagement, shared paths and intersections
— researching in
partnership: the benefits of collaboration
Deadline for proposals: August 31, 2014
