Program Abstract
It is commonplace for college campuses to say they foster inclusive excellence and support diverse faculty and diverse forms of scholarship. However, the rubber hits the road in academic reward systems. Too many institutions maintain narrow definitions of scholarship, criteria, metrics of impact, and systems of peer review that disregard, and devalue engaged scholarship and exclude the critical work of diverse faculty. This keynote session calls for all of us to work together toward reform of our academic reform systems—and provides concrete action steps to make this happen now.
