Reintegrating Boyer’s Four Domains

Colbeck and Wharton Michael (2006) discuss using public scholarship as a central organizing concept for integrating the domains of faculty work. They provide several definitions of public scholarship and a history of the categorization and evaluation of faculty work (e.g., teaching, service, research) and how this has shaped faculty effort. They propose re-integrating these domains to more accurately reflect how faculty conduct their work and connect back to the public service model of land grant universities. Penn State’s Public Scholarship Associates is used as an example.
