Re-envisioning Scholarship in the 21st Century: A DialogueJoin colleagues in imagining and co-creating the future of scholarship beyond the “scholarship of discovery,” one of four categories defined by Boyer over 30 years ago. It’s time to rethink what counts for research in tenure and promotion. Do our current conceptions of research reflect our values? Where is the public in the scholarship categories that count? We’ll provide prompts for conversation to begin the process re-envisioning scholarship in the 21st century as a faculty. |

“Slow Scholarship” and a Feminists Ethics of Care as ResistanceIn part three of our Re-envisioning Scholarship series, join us for a conversation about what it means to prioritize community and care in academic environments that emphasize high productivity. We will host a discussion based on the article, “For Slow Scholarship: A Feminist Politics of Resistance through Collective Action in the Neoliberal University” (Mountz et al 2015). The pressure to publish quickly and in large quantity in academia is exacerbated by the corporatized university model, which often pulls us thin in innumerable ways. In this discussion, we will think through the need for a “slow scholarship” informed by a feminist ethics of care, which can center new ways of labor organizing, alternative modes of scholarship, and communally nurturing spaces. |
