National Movement
Overview of the Movement
Scholars and artists at colleges and universities across the country are increasingly engaging in public scholarship. Leaving their campuses, classrooms, and studios to collaborate with communities, they explore such multidisciplinary issues as citizenship and patriotism, ethnicity and language, space and place, environmental awareness and ethics, and the cultural dimensions of health and religion. They are creating innovative methods and vocabularies for scholarship using cutting-edge technology, pursuing novel kinds of creative work, and integrating research with adventurous new teaching strategies.
