Scholarship of Engagement (SOE)

This workshop facilitates community engagement presentation and discussion to increase knowledge towards enhanced practice of community engagement in academia scholarship. Enhanced community engagement academia scholarship is infused in teaching, research and service. It therefore integrates, in partnership, with all forms of ‘communities’ during engagement; be it the student-, civic- or academia communities.

The CEU aligns with Boyer’s (2008) scholarship of engagement model, which refers to community engagement as a process that involves an evolution and transformation of knowledge as opposed to the simple transfer of information from one learning partner to another. Engaged scholarship consists of all forms of scholarly activity by the university which should link with any one or more of the following engagement types: technical-, cultural-, political-, economic-, and anti-foundational engagement.
