"We need to think of scholarship as a spectrum; publicly-engaged scholarship is along that spectrum. Shouldn't faculty be allowed to choose where to locate ourselves along that spectrum?"
Timothy Eatman during today's workshop, "Valuing Community-Engaged Faculty Work," with KerryAnn O'Meara
Dr. Eatman is dean of the Honors Living Learning Community at Rutgers University Newark, associate professor of urban education at Rutgers University—Newark, and a leader in advancing understandings about the multi-faceted impact of publicly engaged scholarship. Dr. O'Meara is associate dean for faculty affairs and graduate studies of the University of Maryland College of Education and professor of higher education and director of the ADVANCE Program at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her research examines organizational practices that support or limit the full participation of diverse faculty and the legitimacy of diverse scholarship in the academy.
“Servant leaders exemplify a conception of leadership not concerned with power, but with empowerment. Empowerment is concentrated within the group, rather than within the individual. It is incompatible with inequality and serves as a catalyst for change.”
Michael Johnson, '19
