The day-long event<br \/>\nincludes faculty and grad student symposia, a lunch, a conversation with the new cohort of students,<br \/>\nand, in the evening, a potluck. The theme for this year&#8217;s event is<br \/>\n&quot;Scholarship In Action,&quot; one of the <i>hinge<\/i> phrases in SU&#8217;s mission<br \/>\nstatement. Scholarship In Action, as I understand it, is a positive<br \/>\ndesignation for scholarly activity undertaken in such a way that it circulates<br \/>\nbroadly, intervening in the<br \/>\nworld beyond the academy. Community engagement, boundary-spanning<br \/>\ninitiatives, and participatory dynamics are entered into play. SIA complicates<br \/>\ntraditional models of research. I&#8217;ve been asked to talk for ten minutes<br \/>\nabout how the research I&#8217;m doing matches up with SIA, and so, largely because I<br \/>\nagreed to do it, I&#8217;ve been walking the perimeter, getting bearings on the phrase, tracing it back<br \/>\nthrough some of the references to it in recent campus discourse, keeping on the lookout for a eureka or<br \/>\ntwo. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/mt\/archives\/001562.html\"><br \/>\nuniversity-wide shared reading<\/a> for the fall, which, in one sense, presents<br \/>\nTB-expert Paul Farmer as the consummate scholar in action. Also, I have<br \/>\nhad a few conversations with people about SIA or overheard it discussed in<br \/>\nrelationship to more inclusive sensibilities about tenure and promotion. While it might seem an<br \/>\nover-statement to call SIA controversial, it&#8217;s an idea that, because it jostles<br \/>\nwith traditional definitions of scholarship, strikes up some hard questions. For<br \/>\ninstance: Is SIA, in itself, adequate for progress toward tenure and promotion in <i>all<\/i><br \/>\ndisciplines? Whatever the answer to this first one, what is the optimum ratio<br \/>\nbetween SIA and traditional scholarship or, that is, basic research? And<br \/>\nhow does the ratio shift depending on rank? What<br \/>\nare the risks involved in building one&#8217;s own research agenda on SIA <i>before<\/i><br \/>\nestablishing much of any record with basic or traditional research in a given<br \/>\nfield? I raise these questions mostly to begin to get at some preliminary<br \/>\nideas about how to talk for ten minutes about SIA relative to what I do (and<br \/>\nwhat &#8216;what I do&#8217; <i>does<\/i>). I<br \/>\nmean that I want to understand the correspondence rather than just <i>insist<\/i><br \/>\non it. I can see that these questions would imply that SIA and traditional<br \/>\nscholarship are at odds. That&#8217;s not necessarily the case. They might just<br \/>\nas well be considered integral. Still, SIA implies an improvement upon<br \/>\nbasic, traditional scholarship. <\/p>\n<p>Farmer&#8217;s research agenda as well as his publication record is downplayed in<br \/>\n<i>Mountains Beyond Mountains<\/i>. Occasionally, Kidder mentions that<br \/>\nFarmer was dashing off an article late at night or during one of his<br \/>\ntrans-Atlantic flights.<br \/>\nOften the article was solicited by a reputable journal, and, of course, the<br \/>\nwriting was<br \/>\ntightly interwoven with his on-ground, applied research in the clinic. I mention<br \/>\nthis because I didn&#8217;t have the impression that Farmer was exerting himself as a<br \/>\nscholar, <i>traditional<\/i> or <i>in action<\/i>. I mean that SIA wasn&#8217;t<br \/>\nexplicitly his <i><br \/>\nplan<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure that it&#8217;s my plan, either. I mean, I hold SIA in favorable<br \/>\nregard, and I think it is an especially crucial intervention where it expands<br \/>\ndefinitions of tenurable (i.e., traditional, recognizable) scholarly activity,<br \/>\neven if hasn&#8217;t caught on at many institutions. SIA stretches these<br \/>\ncarefully defined domains, and it does so, in part, to re-integrate the<br \/>\nuniversity with the world at-large. To blend them together again while<br \/>\nwarding off the many pressures, forces, ivory towerisms, and economies of scarcity that<br \/>\nhold them apart in far too many ways. SIA reverses the caricature model of<br \/>\ntraditional scholarly production: curmudgeonly hermits turning out article after<br \/>\nunread article, monograph after unread monograph, reproducing a narrow-band<br \/>\necho-effect among a highly specialized in-group. <\/p>\n<p>But then there are more hard questions: Another concern is that as a graduate student<br \/>\npreparing at SU (an institution where SIA is valued), what bearing will it have<br \/>\nin an institution where SIA is <i>not<\/i> valued, <i>not<\/i> recognized? Could SIA have a negative<br \/>\nimpact for a freshly minted Ph.D. seeking a faculty appointment at another<br \/>\ninstitution? Perhaps. Again, the question of ratios in the<br \/>\ncombinatory mix&#8211;of balancing an SIA agenda with traditional, recognizable scholarship, and<br \/>\nof doing so in such a way that SIA doesn&#8217;t merely amount to yet another set of tasks. I suppose this<br \/>\ncould be read as cynical, but I don&#8217;t mean it that way at all. I&#8217;m only<br \/>\ntrying to anticipate questions of whether (and to what degree) SIA introduces greater risks<br \/>\n(or greater rewards) for graduate<br \/>\nstudents.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t even touched upon the intersection of SIA and digital research and<br \/>\nscholarship, but this is what my ten minutes will sort through. To what<br \/>\nextent is keeping a del.icio.us account a form of SIA? How about blogging? Online teaching?<br \/>\n<i>CCC Online Archive<\/i>? I can make a case for it, I suppose, but<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s also a way of dealing with the question that boils down plainly to what is included on one&#8217;s<br \/>\nCV. Others have talked about this at length&#8211;whether to include one&#8217;s weblog on a CV.<br \/>\nI would guess that most people, other than those who have won awards for it,<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t include it. Obviously, I don&#8217;t hide it (under what rug would it<br \/>\nfit?), but neither do I list <i>Earth Wide Moth<\/i> (not even any of my favorite<br \/>\nentries) on the CV under &quot;scholarship.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>In a similar vein, I know there are discussions at old U.<br \/>\nabout <i>counting<\/i> the development of online courses as publications. Online<br \/>\ncourses involve a sizable chunk of work and a lot of writing, but are they more<br \/>\narticle-like than syllabus-like? More review-like than teaching-statement-like?<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know (er, perhaps <i>I do know<\/i> this tacitly, considering I don&#8217;t<br \/>\nlist the courses I&#8217;ve developed as publications). Without putting SIA, applied<br \/>\nresearch, traditional research, or basic research into tidy, discrete<br \/>\ncategories, I still need to sort through just how much of what I do matches with<br \/>\nSIA and, as well, take stock of what it is worth to call it by that name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 4<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Just before the fall semester convenes one month from now, my graduate program will hold its annual Community Day event.
