pioneering work of Ernest A. Lynton and the legacy of his contributions to publically engaged scholarship.
|
“This event provided an opportunity to acknowledge high quality community engagement and promote ideas and avenues for faculty to consider in their own practice. I see this event also as professional development. I was inspired by the Lynton winner and impressed with the good work that faculty perform when following their passions. I hope that administrators will view their faculty with new eyes after attending this colloquium.” |
Held on September 21, 2012 at UMass Boston, NERCHE's First Annual Lynton Colloquium on the Scholarship ofEngagement featured presentations and panel discussions inspired by Ernest Lynton's reframing of faculty scholarship as inclusive and collaborative work in which academics and community partners share knowledge and expertise in the process of public problem solving. The event explored the legacy of Lynton’s influence on scholarly practice and organizational change in higher education. The keynote presentation was delivered by Dr. Jordan Karubian, recipient of the 2012 Lynton Award for the Scholarship of Engagement for Early Career Faculty.
