2012 Ernest A.
Lynton Award for the
Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty
Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty
Sponsored by the
New England Resource Center for Higher Education (NERCHE)
The
annual Ernest A. Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement for Early
Career Faculty recognizes a faculty member who is pre-tenure at
tenure-granting campuses or early career (i.e., within the first six years) at
campuses with long-term contracts and who connects his or her teaching,
research, and service to community engagement.
Community engagement describes the
collaboration between faculty and their larger communities (local,
regional/state, national, global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge
and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity.
--Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
The
Lynton Award emphasizes community-based scholarly work across faculty roles.
The scholarship of engagement (also known as outreach scholarship, public
scholarship, scholarship for the common good, community-based scholarship, and
community-engaged scholarship) represents an integrated view of faculty roles
in which teaching, research/creative activity, and service overlap and are mutually
reinforcing, is characterized by scholarly work tied to a faculty member's
expertise, is of benefit to the external community, is visible and shared with
community stakeholders, and reflects the mission of the institution. In
addition, NERCHE conceptualizes scholarly engagement in terms of social
justice in a diverse democracy.
The
award will be presented at the 18th Annual Conference of the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan
Universities
(CUMU) which will be held from October 13-16, 2012, at the University of
Tennessee at Chattanooga. CUMU is a co-sponsor of the Award.
The
recipient of the award will have several opportunities to disseminate his or
her community based work, including presenting at the CUMU conference,
publishing in the Metropolitan Universities Journal, and participating
in one or more of NERCHE's webinars focused on community-based scholarly work.
