Annual Lynton Colloquium on the Scholarship of Engagement:
The Engaged Scholar and the Engaged Campus
"The panelists were engaging, and the event came at a point in the semester when I really needed to step away and find inspiration! It was a pleasure to see so many colleagues..." "Participating in this event and having the chance to share experiences was invigorating...You have re-energized me for the year!" "I feel refortified after my time at the Colloquium. Having conversations with so many people who share the same community engagement values was very meaningful." --comments from Colloquium participants |
Held on September 30, 2013 at UMass Boston, NERCHE's Annual Lynton Colloquium on the Scholarship of Engagement featured presentations, panel discussions, and facilitated dialogue inspired by Ernest Lynton's framing of faculty scholarly activity as inclusive and collaborative work in which academics and community partners share knowledge and expertise in the process of public problem solving. The Colloquium explored Lynton’s continued influence on scholarly practice and organizational change in higher education, while providing a forum in which engaged scholars reflected on the opportunities and challenges of civic engagement across the range of roles within the academy. The keynote presentation was delivered by Dr. Farrah Jacquez, recipient of the 2013 Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty.
